Hah!!!! That was friggin' hilarious :!:

I have my own brew and bee encounter story:

My brother and I went down to a beer festival in Philly (Sippin' by the River) about 7 years ago. We drank for the requisite 4 hours straight, got some cheesesteaks, then headed home while still a little buzzed :asshat: While heading up the NE extension of the PA Turnpike, and just outside of the Philly suburbs, I suddenly realized that I had to race like a pisshorse. I wasn't about to get off at an exit, pay the toll, find a place to piss, get back on, and pay again when I got off it closer to home... so I found an area in a rural section with a nice wide shoulder and access to nearby woods. I pulled over, trampled off into the woods over a stonerow, and watered the poison ivy. On the way back to the car, however, I encountered the bees that I had apparently disturbed on the way in. I got stung maybe 5-6 times (Yellowjackets from a ground nest)... and I came shooting out of the woods swatting and jumping around like a fool. People driving past on the Turnpike were swerving all over the place... either in surprise, or paralyzed from the hilarity of such a sight. My brother nearly pissed himself laughing. I jumped in the car and took off, and the venom started working quick from my increased heart rate from fear, running, etc. The good thing was that I got stung in my bad knee, which actually made it feel better, and the combination of alcohol and bee venom was kinda euphoric for a few hours.

I too am allergic to those stinging bastards so I can sympathize.

Great story :lol:
