After church one Sunday a husband, Walter & wife, Michelle, split off to talk to their respective friends.

Walter walks up to where the men where gathered. "Hey Walter, I heard you're having a rough time plowing that corn field!" asked a fine dressed gentleman.

Walter replies, "Yeah! That's an understatement! First the tractor wouldn't start. After finding a loose plug, it fired right up. Then as I am backing out I heard something crack. I looked down & right under the wheel was a board that fell from the ceiling. I looked up & sure enough an animal had been up in the attic & knocked out this board. Thankfully it wasn't anything with nails. You know how much that would have cost me!"

All his buddies nodded their heads in agreement & one even piped up & said "Oh yeah, an arm & a leg!"

"I finally made it to the field after filling up the tractor with gas & then the plow would not lower. I found a wasp nest in the control box! I got the wasp spray & doused them all before they knew what hit them!" Walter continued. "Got them all, I did!"

The men patted Walter on the back in congratulations.

Meanwhile on the other side of the church, Michelle was chatting with a few of the ladies when another walks up & asks, "What's this I hear Walter had an adventure yesterday?"

"Oh, that is an understatement! Walter was trying to get the tractor running so he could plow the corn field, when he found a wasp nest in a box thing on the tractor. I heard him hoot & holler that I had to race to the window to see what was all the commotion. There he is stripping. I had no idea what had happened, so I ran out the front door & before I could get around the house he was stark naked & jumping in the creek!

I reached the tractor & saw a wasp crawling next to the tractor. I proceeded to the shop & grabbed the can of wasp spray walked over to the tractor & sprayed at the one & only wasp. Then from the creek I heard Walter hollering: "Watch it they swarmed all over me." I went into the shop & grabbed his jacket & met him at the bank of the creek & he steps out & I asked him to show me where he was stung. He said he jumped in the water before they could reach him. Now mind you, that nest was only as big as my thumb." Michelle said, holding her one thumb up.

"He crept up to the tractor like as if he was an elephant trying to avoid a mouse! He looked at me so pathetic & scared & I told him I sprayed at it already. He then began to get dressed again."

The men looked over to see their wives laughing so hard they were crying.

Walter sighed figuring they just heard the true story & made a mental note that next Sunday he would sit in the back of the church so he could sneak out soon as the sermon was over.
