28-october-2006 STUNG

28/10/06

This week I was stung by a wasp in a peculiar place.

I was at work, and simply strolled from one building into another (a total of 20m max)

And began talking to a colleague.

I start spasming

And saying "ow!"

And lifting up my shirt.

As you can probably imagine, I got some very odd looks.

(And pulled some too).

I couldn't see anything on my skin,

So I started looking on the inside of my shirt,

When suddenly,

Without warning,

A tiny tiny wasp flew out from the depths of my bellybutton.

A WASP STUNG ME IN MY BELLYBUTTON!

What,

I ask you,

Are the chances of a wasp being that tiny,

Landing IN a bellybutton

AND STINGING SIX TIMES!?!

Apparently, if you are me, 1:1.

Admittedly, I do have a rather deep inny bellybutton.

And because I'm allergic to bees,

I was scared that I might become an outty.

But that doesnt excuse the fact that the only ice offered to me was in the form of a frozen 2L milk bottle.

It could maybe hold a pencil, but 2L of ice?

Sorry, no.

So my bellybutton is now tainted.

It's hymenoptera virginity has been tainted.

And I am all the more experienced.
