If the wasp hadn't of stung me I wouldn't have killed it.

The outline of Charlie Watts was interesting, I’d never thought much about him as the others were so flamboyant. Didn’t know the history of Chiang Kai-shek prior to the commies driving him out.
Wasps, like all small waisted creatures, are bastards. Trust nothing with a small waist, especially humans.
