Reply #28: Fire ant attack [View All]

[trof]

I was in the back yard last summer wearing T shirt, shorts, and flip-flops.
I was using a big hay fork to turn the compost heap.
I'd been working there about 5 minutes when I felt a bite on my foot.
I looked down and my right foot and leg were swarming with fire ants.
I was standing on an anthill concealed by the edge of the compost heap.
I turned and ran for the hose on the other side of the yard.
Have you ever tried to run in flip-flops?
Have you ever seen a portly gentleman of a certain age try to run in flip-flops?
Neither had Miz t.
She literally collapsed with laughter.
I failed to immedtately see the humor in the situation, but eventually I did.
