I've yet to catch a bee like that but I've certainly bounced my share
off my head.

My worst chance encounter was with a seagull on the Alaskan Way Viaduct
in Seattle. I rode up under and behind it so it ended up in my lap,
flapping its wings, kicking its feet, and eventually emptying its
bowels before I could swat it away. It was warm so it was mostly dried
before I could clean up. Seagulls eat a lot of clams and garbage.
After they "process" all that it's even worse. I had a helluva time
getting that *** out of my jacket and belt.

They say pidgeons are rats with wings. Seagulls are a lot worse.
