Yikes our worst fears have been realised as we come under
attack from drunk wasps. To make matters worse they're not fun drunks, either. The
British Red Cross is warning citizens that this year there is a record number
of those stingy things who are out of a job. Now that their queens are fully supplied with
nectar, the worker wasps have nothing to do but laze around and drink
fermenting fruit. It has been reported that as winter approaches, wasps are
becoming bolder and angrier as they get older. These reckless retirees are
getting wasted and stinging with more frequency. “It’s hilarious that, now
worker wasps have finished their life's work, all they are doing now is
feasting on fermented fruit and getting ‘drunk," Joe Mulligan, head of
first aid at the British Red Cross, was quoted saying. Hilarious is not the
word we'd use. A threat to the wellbeing of everything good anipal in the world
seems a more appropriate. Imagine what kind of atrocities this new breed of
angry old drunks will commit? Drink responsibly we say to them and there's
nothing nice about an old drunk. Have a wonderful wasp free Wednesday all. I
luckily have never been stung. Hope you haven't either.

ReplyDeleteWe should give them tickets for impaired flying! Lee and Phod
ReplyDeletei think i'd rather get stung by a drunk wasp than a fully-aware one. :)
ReplyDeleteremins us of the joke.....Scottish man found a wasp in his whiskey and picked it up by the wings shouting "spit it out spit it out !!!!!!" bawaaahhhhhh

We never heard of drunken wasps before. Last year we had a flock of birds who came by and got drunk on the fermented berries on the trees out back. HH had to run for the car cuz they were doing poopies everywhere.... yuck. You stay away from thos stingers, Molly.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for all your comments and encouragement during the painting challenge. HH wants you to know she appreciated your support.
hugs, Bugsy and Knuckles
A PAWsome message to "Be Responsible" Happy Wednesday. Lots of Golden Woofs, Sugar
ReplyDeleteThe police should do more roadside breath tests, drunken wasp-crafts are dangerous. Be careful dear Molly!
ReplyDeleteWell, sorry, but it is rather funny! We occasionally have wasp nests in the eaves of our house, not sure if the wasps are drunk ones. Not a bad way to retire though, eh.
ReplyDeleteYou have drunken wasps and in my city we have stink bugs. I say what is the world coming to! Why last week I could not even go potty for the last time in peace for a dam large fireball over Ohio! A Large Fireball Meteor with Sonics Over Ohio while I am doing my business before doing to bed. Talk about scaring the crap out of you.
ReplyDeleteJeez!
Thanks for being a friend
Sweet William The Scot
We can't stand wasps! All summer we had wasp nests literally all over our yard - it was virtually impossible for us to get away from them! Luckily none of us ended up getting stung, though.
ReplyDeleteWe heard on the radio today they are stinging peoples in china. Nutty
ReplyDeleteBenny & Lily
Be careful when you're out chasing squirrels, Molly! There are a lot of wasps along our favorite hiking trail and both Wrigs and I have been stung. It never occurred to me that they might be intoxicated!
ReplyDeleteSusan and Wrigs
Yikes... drunk wasps sound scary! I've been stung before, it is not fun :(
ReplyDeleteOh my! What is the wasp world coming to?!?
ReplyDeleteMom has been stung by non-drunk wasps before, but not by drunk wasps.
She doesn't want to get stung by any kind of wasps in the future ;)
Stewey
Oh, I've never been stung either. I bet a drunk wasp would have very bad aim too! Might have to start Mothers Against Drunk Wasps. (Do you have MADD there?)
ReplyDeleteYikes, not good! I got stung once and Mom had to carry me about 1/2 mile home because my paw hurt so bad. Be careful!
ReplyDeleteUh-oh! I see a new "W" word I hadn't thought of for Wilson's Wordless Wednesdays ;-)
ReplyDeleteoh no!!!! we hate wasps and yellow jackets and hornets please don;t get stung
ReplyDeletelove
tweedles
The only positive thing...is maybe they can't see straight to sting.
ReplyDeleteXXXOOO Daisy, Bella & Roxy
Molly, I'm scared, I do not want to be hurt by a drunken " waps" as Mum calls them, she hates them, she has never been stung but she goes crazy if one comes near, I've been lucky enough not to have been stung and to be honest I don't pay them much mind, but hearing that those stripy stroppy bee wannabes are drunk and disorderly and on a rampage really worries me! Love your Furiend Frank XxxxX
ReplyDeleteTW got stung by one of those once and hopes it never happens again.
ReplyDeleteWE have some special spray that mom keeps in the cabinet just for those kinds of things!!
ReplyDeletestella rose
We dislike those things very much because our mom does and she knows all about them because they built a huge round next in a tree next to our back door. Boy, she was hopping mad about that! Purrs...
ReplyDeleteLast week I got stung on the end of my nose and Dad gave me a Benadryl. Mom swears I'm going to drive her to drinking.....but she already drinks BOL.
ReplyDeleteAroo to you,
Sully
Now see if you can get those wasps a job in the USA then they would be sent home and not bother anyone. Just saying . . .
ReplyDeleteYour Pals,
Murphy and Stanley
eeek i'm staying inside,xx Rachel
ReplyDeleteHi sweet Molly. Please take care of yourselves there.
ReplyDeleteMOWZERS. Our mom just wagged her finger at us and said "SEE why I tell you not to swat at those flyign things?!?!" MOL
ReplyDeleteYikes, stay away from those nasty wasps. Their sting really hurts. I hope they go away soon and no furry friends or humans get stung.
ReplyDeleteMolly you are so funny!!!! I'm seriously laughing like crazy right now! Have a nice weekend!! HUGS, Francesca
ReplyDeleteStay safe Molly!! You might wanna go easy on those beers so you can still run in a straight line in case they attack! :)
ReplyDeleteWags to all,
Your pal Snoopy :)
There must be something going on, I heard about some Asian wasps too, that are actually killing people!!
