Ouch is right!

Caught a yellow jacket, hornet, bee whatever it was it was pissed off,
up the jacket sleeve one day. Like someone else said they will sting
more than once. I think the little bugger got me five or six times
before I could do a striptease on the side of the road.

Another time I was going from Greenriver Wyoming across the plain
towards Flaming Gorge. It was just getting dark and I center punched a
Night Hawk right in the top of the helmet. One of the few times I was
glad I had one on. Still he about tore my head off.
