I have heard of people caught in situations in the wild, away from medical facilities using bee venom as a numbing agent so they could endure the pain of stitches and would care.

Haahaha!
This weekend, had to rid the yard of a big ole bee hive.
turds got me about 6 times when I was doing yard work a couple weeks ago...and I now know neither of my kids are alergic to bees stings as well!
Friend and I started on this mission after dark and a few cocktails. After 3 attempts that included gas soaked rags, 20' of PVC, running acorss the yard screaming like little girls, etc we pulled out the big guns!
He got suited up in his best PPE, rain pants, Carharrt sweatshirt, hood cinched down around his face, safety glasses, leather gloves. He grabbed the gas can, I got a Roman candle.
He ran in, dumped gas for 2-3 sec and took off. I lit the Roman Candle. Fireball #5 hit dead center (took a couple shots to get sighted in within 12" at 50'!)
WHOOSH! No more bees nest!

First couple futile attempts were done while holding a beer. Had to put them down for the money shot! (Noone to hold our beers, or they could have videoed it!)

They also need to get rid of the axles where the snakes like to hang out (that was last year after it had been parked for three months).
Yeah!! Last year I was pointing out a thing on my neck. The crazy lady pinched it between her fingernails and yanked it off. Hurt like heck (for a minute). She said it was a "tag wart" and people get them as they get older. Sometimes I am afraid to go to sleep at night.
Thats where we surpass women.
Gotta love guys that will beat their skulls with a beer bottle or can trying to swat a bug rather than drop the booze (I am currently praying there are no women reading this because they scare me).

Its true! Another thing she did last year was she had spotted a hair growing out of my ear and waited until we were laying in bed to yank it out. Once again she said "its just part of getting older". I knew getting older wasnt going to be a picnic but didnt count on my wife being a large part of the pain.

Maybe she's just paying you back for all those walks to the mail box to 'paint' it...

She once dared me to shoot her with a rubber band I was threatening her with. I can be so stupid sometimes.
Its possible. I still cant believe she thought it would be easier to bring it to the house to paint it. That would have turned a six beer job into a one beer job and thats no good.

Kinda makes you wonder how they figure out how to get you to hit yourself in the head with a truck when they are not within ten miles...
And you think it was your fault to boot!!!!
