Typical work hazard.

That, my friends, is a red wasp sting. It struck while I was dropping off letters, and let me tell you: it hurts to an almost offensive degree.

I did get my revenge on the wasp, though. I also convinced the customer that mailmen are weird creatures. He found me in his yard, driving my fist into the grass. I was making sure I would have defeated the red wasp, and I might have been hyped up on adrenaline.

You know what? I really can’t fault the customer. Mailmen are, indeed, weird.
