YELLOW STRIPEY THINGS

 That's how the poster on Neil DeGrasse Tyson labeled the picture.


My dad, the logger, had a story about yellow jackets and young guys who were new to the woods and the job. It was summer in the woods and the yellow jackets were trying to hijack the guy's lunches. Newbie got tired of it and headed for the nest with an ax. Basically it was "if you are planning to do what we think you are planning to do let us get in the crew bus first. (crew bus usually known as a "crummy.") Actually I believe the sentence was a lot shorter and probably involved a damn fool and SOB. Didn't take the new guy long to figure out that kncking down the wasp's nest wasn't the best idea he'd had that morning.
