[Rhodes22-list] Wasps! and donkeys

[Tootle]

There must be a lot of Democrats on this discussion.  The 'Pest Strip' works
without all the stubborn fuss mentioned herein.  A bunch of stubborn
donkeys...  
"Waiter, waiter! There's a wasp in my dessert. 
So that's where they go to in the winter."

There is no need to bomb or fog.  In a weeks time all you will have to do
sweep up the dead crisp wasps.  

After all the discussion of the Osage Organges, I would have thought that
someone would have mentioned the one vegetable known to work.  Hot Mexican
peppers.

"It appears we have appointed our worst generals to command forces, and our
most gifted and brilliant to edit newspapers. In fact, I discovered by
reading newspapers that these editor/geniuses plainly saw all my strategic
defects from the start, yet failed to inform me until it was too late.
Accordingly, I am readily willing to yield my command to these obviously
superior intellects, and I will, in turn, do my best for the Cause by
writing editorials, after the fact." Robert E. Lee, 1863.
