Anyways I was reading this from The Onion, and died laughing and thought I'd share it with ya'll -- if you appreciate it as much as I do, let's be new best friends
DALLAS - A western honeybee measuring barely one quarter of an inch in length and weighing approximately .03 ounces triggered panic among a gathering of six fully-grown Homo sapiens during a picnic at Davis Park on Monday, witnesses reported.
"Where is it -- where is it?" said 44-year-old general manger Charles Freid, who has been described by his coworkers and business rivals as "ruthless," after the bee happened to fly in his general direction. "Get it off me! Is it on me?"
"Jesus!" added Freid, screaming and flailing his arms as he raced to his car, got inside, and locked the doors.
The college-educated humans, all of whom are not allergic to bee-sting venom and possess both cerebral and muscular capacities several orders of magnitude beyond that of the insect, proceeded to retreat in abject fright from its half-millimeter stinger, which, when used, causes a twinge of discomfort followed by mild irritation and kills the bee.
According to entomologists at the University of Texas at Dallas, the Apid mellifera was most likely trying to pollinate a nearby cluster of dandelions and was not, as alleged by 50-year-old attorney Georgia Sakko, who has twice endured the pain of childbirth and succesfully battled breast cancer, "out to get us."
"Don't make it angry -- don't make it angry!" Sakko said. "Is it in my hair? I felt something in my hair. Somebody get it out. Get it out!"
Airline pilot Mike Grunwold, 49, who is approximately 1,224 times the size of the bee said that he was "certain" the bee had landed on Sakko's back. Fiber tests on Sakko's clothing later found no traces of a bee's presence, but did reveal a small piece of line and matted hair that may have resembled an insect at a distance and in certain lights.
Civil engineer, marathon runner, and Gulf War veteran Scott Fogel, 39, briefly attempted to use force against the bee's non-aggressive actions, waving it away with a paper plate. After accidently upending a container of potato salad which caused the bee to suddenly swerve, Fogel leaped back several feet and dashed for cover behind a trash can.
After the bee seemingly disappeared, the humans -- members of a species that has crossed an Ice Age land bridge from Asia to North America, domesticated the wolf, built the pyramids, and landed a manned vehicle on the surface of the moon -- walked cautiously back to the picnic area.
"I think it's gone," personal trainer Marcus Weller, 32, said "Thank God."
A few seconds later, the bee emerged from an overturned Coke can, prompting the humans to scream and retreat once more. They opted not to return to the area, abandoning several hundred dollars' worth of food and picnicking equipment. The brutalized parkgoers characterized the day as "totally ruined."
The bee, which was reportedly never more than vaguely aware of the presence of other living organisms besides the blooming plants it sought, eventually returned to its hive without incident.
