Oh goodness, that poor man! I am both horrified and amused by this tale. I have a special place in my heart for him with the whole stinging insect thing.

And the way you ended this post was just brilliant.

Actually, these happened to someone I know but not my neighbor. This is one of the stories I'm writing and adapting for my 'Great American Novel'.

I'm finding people watching is a rich and rewarding experience and is giving me a few 'tales' to build and share with others.

So, all the facts are just as they happened with the lone exception of my being his neighbor.

And 'John' is doing well... and STILL working to win that Darwin Award.

So your neighbor was the model for Tim "the tool" Taylor for the show Home Improvements?

I have to agree with Skye, loved the score keeping ending.

Read what I told Skye.

Reality is always funnier to me than what comes on TV and the movies for the most part.

And thank you about the ending... I knew I was going to do it that way when I started this story - it just seemed proper. The only thing about it is that when I get into the editing/rewriting part... I'll change it so that it will fit into my 'Use Ta Be' collection... which one day I plan on getting into book form... and then buying the one copy for myself!
