[AT] Re: hornets

[Ed Stewart]

Yep! John fry them. When I was about 9 or so a buddy of mine and I were 
walking down the neighbors farm lane toward where my house is and we 
spyed a hugh Hornets nest about 18 inches off the ground in low bush, 
well we could not resist the temptation so we each got ahold of a 2 foot 
square piece of 1 inch thick flagstone and carried it over and dropped 
it on that nest, well we didn't get maybe ten feet running and they were 
all over us. I still remember he and I sitting in a ditch bawlng and 
rubbing mud on each others necks and backs. We each had a bunch of 
stings and they hurt like H*!!. Ed
