Red wasps love to build nests inside the seats and dash and give you a hell of a surprise. I’ve jumped off a moving tractor before and just let it go into the pond

I have a diving board for my pool and at the beginning of the season one year I walked out to the end of it and stood there for a minute…they had built a nest back up under the base of the board. I got stung 6 or 7 times before I even knew what was happening. If I had been racing Michael Phelps to the other end of the pool, he wouldn’t have had a chance
