A friend remarked he was generous. That's why he had all those billions.

Is the bee a terrorist?

Literally no idea who he is but I'll celebrate the death of a billionaire no matter who they are. Fuck that guy - glad he's dead.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I beg your pardon: you're glad that he's dead?

Wait til you discover what he did to his ex before the bee took him out - you might even be thrilled:

Bummer. I was hoping to ask whether there was a honey flavor or more of a floral sugar flavor. Apparently it's a quick death.

I was once on a farm, laughing at something, and a horsefly came up and bit me on the tongue.

I had no idea why it happened, still don't, but it was one of the worst things that had ever happened to me at that point in my life.

I got a cabin out in Shenandoah one time by Luray, and all the bugs out there are frickin massive.

I’m outside making bbq, having a mikes hard lemonade of some kind. Grab my bottle, take a swig, and suddenly I have what feels like a wet piece of carpet halfway in my mouth.

So I pull the bottle away from my face and lo and behold the most massive hornet I have ever seen in my life plops down and hits the ground. Like at least two and a half inches long. Little guy was drunk as all hell after taking a swim and thankfully didnt sting me when I had his ass in my mouth
