Deep Thoughts With Gary

Many of you know that Gary has the habit of blurting out totally random things that just make you stop and laugh. Or maybe you are totally unaware that this side of him exists. I felt the need to share one with you because I want people to know that while Gary puts up the front of being the most sane one in our relationship his mind comes up with some very bizarre stuff.

Recently our house has been invaded by paper wasps. Just a few a day, nothing like the horrible 70's "Killer Bees" movie. Gary also ends up with a few stray bees in his office. They fly in the door and then proceed to beat against the windows right by his desk. In doing some research I discovered that you will usually find wasps going to the closest source of sunlight available.

I was feeling very philosophical (probably had something to do with the glass of wine in my hand) and so I said, "Imagine, they want in so badly and then spend the rest of their time banging their bodies against a window trying to get back out."

Gary just looks over and says, "Would you give up some brain cells so you could sting someone with your a**?"

I probably responded with a headshake eyeroll combo while laughing very hard inside. If we laugh out loud too often he becomes way to encouraged. The sad part is, I found myself giving his question serious consideration. Right know I can't even remember if we continued to discuss the positives and negatives to such a possibility. The question is, would you?
