Kind of a bug story.......

When I Was a Kid I had (still have) a 1968 Atlas Mini-bike. My Parents got it for me to ride at my Aunts house in the country when I Stayed for weeks in the country with her.

Anyway, I Was Riding full bore 40+mph in a full tuck down a country road in Southern Mo when I Felt a sharp pain on the outside of my hip. It was bad, Real bad. I Swore I Saw a huge hornet crawling up my leg so I panicked and Jammed on the scrub brake.

I Killed the bike and pulled down my pants to find A Huge Massive whelp!!
That's when I Noticed a kid bolting into the woods with DANG PELLET GUN!!!
It took me a second to register that the SOB had Shot me with that Pellet gun!!

I Couldn't Get that Bike started fast enough. I Went after him with my Pants halfway down my Rear end and Full bore with that Atlas Mini-bike. I Could of swore I saw him trying to crack the Gun open to reload while on the run.

Lets Just Say......... He Didn't Zig Zag when he should have and got a swift kick in the BUTT with me doing at least 25mph and standing on the pegs. I Never saw him after that day and I road that same road more than once while I was down there.

That Whelp stayed for a good week. Thankfully I had Jeans on.

I lost a nice pair of aviator sunglasses when a wasp stung me on the temple just inside my helment when I tried to rid myself of him, I caught the glasses too and flung them off before I realized it.
Another time, I got hit in the eye by a 2" hard shelled water beetle at about 70 one a.m. on my way to throw my morning paper route. Hurt so bad I couldn't see out of either eye. I had no idea where I was on the road. Luckily, I wound up off the left side of the road in the only driveway for miles. On either side was a deep ditch. I wear a faceshield now.
A friend of mine was several miles per above the speed limit when he got hit in the shoulder by a sparrow flying the other direction. The birds beak penetrated his shoulder and opened up allowing its insides to be injected into my friend. My buddy spend the next several days in the hospital dealing with the bacterial infection from the birds guts. Nearly killed him.

I think that one tops it, the dude got a bug injection via living syringe. How disgusting is that?!
