Red Wasp Smackdown II: "Mano a Mano"

[Richardo]

I was up on the roof over the weekend (blowing off the pine needles, don'tcha know) and ran into a representative from the local wood wasps nest again. I thought I was giving them ample leeway, but I guess I got into the local 'no-go' zone for humans. (They should post better signs.)

Anyway, as I was walking along the roof I felt an small impact on the back of my neck and instinctively swatted it. The subsequent feeling of a red-hot knitting needle in my right index finger gave me a hint as to the identity of the culprit.

My finger now has the size, shape and dexterity of a Ball Park Frank (They plump when you sting 'em!). I thought the swelling would have gone down in 24 hours, but no. The strange part is the internal itching. :crazy:
