Wasp a matta wit you?

So I was getting into my car the other day, which is a real low two-door by they way, and a hornet comes flying in the passenger-side window and starts flying around my head. I dive out of the car via the open driver's-side door and begin rolling up the driver's-side window. The hornet (or wasp, which ever one keeps its legs dangling in the air in a comical, yet deadly fashion) flies out the passenger's-side window. I quickly dive back into the car and begin rolling the p-side window up to prevent the hornet from returning. While I'm in my car, the driver's-side door closes, essentially sealing me in. When the p-side window is about halfway closed, the hornet flies in AGAIN! Naturally, I kick open my d-side door and bail out a second time.

Well, this keeps happening for about a minute, where the hornet flies out the p-side window, I jump back into the car and roll the window up another inch, then the hornet flies back in while I jump out the other side. Finally, the hornet, now back in the car, crawls into the open space underneath my glove box. Fearing that this horrific, stinging creature will lay eggs and build a nest in the control console of my car, I bang on the glove box until the hornet comes back out.

Eventually, after a long ordeal, the hornet flies out the remaining crack of open window and I succeed in shutting the window entirely. Ignoring the neighbors around me that have watched this particular scene unfold, I begin laughing as I watch the hornet flying angrily around my car and, sweating in the 80-something degree heat of the car's sealed interior, drive off with a squeal.

Sure, I could have just squashed the hornet with a flip-flop while his back was turned, but where's the fun in that? That's like spawn killing from the rocks around the center column of the Sanctuary map in a Halo 2 match; just plain panz.
