Wasps like beer, so they can't be all bad.

One night I drank beers with members of the coalition. We were just minding our own business, barbecuing up some nice sausages, and guess who the heck shows up? You know it. Hobos. We made our best efforts to kill them, hell, I even swatted one so hard I thought for sure it was dead. Turns out it was, but it came back from hell in a fury of flames to torment us in it's afterlife. That won't happen again. I wonder if and how we will ever truly rid our lives of all Hobos, and just enjoy beer.
Thats better

Let me ask you something. If wasps like beer, then doesn't that mean less beer for us?

I don't know if this is supposed to be funny or what, but either way it just clutters up the off topic.

I have no time for wasps. Or hobos. I say we commission the wasps to destroy the hobos by paying them in beer and then double cross them on the payment by having crates of beer bottles filled with raid explode and decimate the wasp population.

I saw a hobo once directing traffic at a busy intersection. He even managed to somehow get a hold of a fluorescent traffic vest and one of those guiding sticks they use.

He was still obviously jacked up on smack, but was great entertainment nonetheless!

Don't wasps die after they sting someone? So there's really no need to worry about paying them off. Just get them to attack the hobos and the wasps will rub themselves out in doing so, leaving us with the beer. Everyone wins.

A friend and I started a coalition the other day:

MAMAHA

Men Against Motown At Hooters Association

Fastest beer ever, that was.

And I don't think any self-respecting "Men's Coalition" should have 'fear of insects' as a tenet.

Sorry Science nerd here. It's Bees that die after stinging. Wasps tend to have straight stingers and can sting repeatedly

This, good sir, is an excellent plan. Screw the science part.

There is no fear. There is only a strong dislike. I have no fear of wasps, but it annoys me to no end that they land on beer, meat, girlfriends, etc. Those little s should all die.

I like beer but I'm neutral on the subject of wasps. I do like bees, though!

When I was in pre-school (5 years old I think), the class went on some kind of nature walk, and a rogue bee induced panic amongst the rest of the kids (and the teacher); so the poor lil guy found sanctuary by landing on my wrist, as I was the only one just standing there and not freaking out. Of course the teacher then started yelling, "Just hold still, jammies, and I'll kill it!" while screwing up her courage to inflict the mortal blow, while I was telling the bee, "Don't be scared, just wait here until it's safe to go!" Luckily the bee took off once there was a large kid-free circle around me created by the mass panic and zoomed off into the trees, so Ms. BigSissy didn't have to commit bee-icide or get me stung.

a) They don't harm beer or meat. You'll never taste the difference.

b) Find girlfriends with bigger racks. Then you'll love it when they jump up and down and run all over the yard trying to evade the wasps.
