Why didn't you just make a thread and quiz entitled 'Would you intentionally do something that may cause you harm?', its pretty much the same idea!

Or a member of a top English Rugby Union team (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_Wasps)? You poke them, you get tackled. HARD.

You know, I was going to post some really good WASP jokes...but there aren't any. The way I see it, the only reason people make fun of blacks and mexicans and italians and whatnot is because those jokes are funny.

But that's not nearly as funny as, say:

How do stop a black kid from jumping on the bed?
Put velcro on the ceiling.

How do you get him down?
Invite the mexican kids over and tell them it's a pinata party.

I squashed a wasp with my hand once. Wasn't intentional -- I was climbing onto a wall as a kid and didn't see it. Took me quite a while to feel it too.

edit: So, does that count?

You know, I never have poked a wasp. I've prodded, pierced, vexed, and stirred up wasps, but never poked.
I shall go do this thing immediately; thank you for drawing my attention to this new and exciting course of action.

I got that beat. I once squashed a wasp between my thighs. Damn thing must have flown up my skirt while I was waiting on an outdoor train platform, and I had no idea it was there until I took a seat on the train. I felt it right away. Shit, that hurt. Fortunately, I'm not allergic. I actually didn't kill it -- I shook my skirt and the poor little winged bastard went flying away all dazed-like -- really, it was all slow and unsteady. And I was in pain.

I have also dated a couple of White Anglo-Saxon Protestants, so I guess they've been around my thighs, too. They didn't hurt as much as the other kind of wasp.

I don't really have the dexterity to poke a (presumably flying?) wasp.

Not even close.

So, no?

I well and truly killed my wasp though. I remember lifting my hand and seeing it there squashed on the brick with its stinger still in constant action.

Well, I had to take out a small hornet's nest (hive?) the other day (good thing I did too, since somebody decided to tear apart the structure they were building on...then again, I hate that guy, so I wish I wouldn't have).

Anyway, I was prepared to run like hell as I pointed the hose at them (On the "jet" setting, of course). By "prepared", I mean I even moved things out of the way in preparation so that I would get stung as little as possible as I ran away during phase two of my heroic quest (yes there were phases, what can I say, I like to have a plan). Also, so that when I ran like the little (heroic) baby I was, I wouldn't trip and have to tell a really embarrassing story about how I ended up breaking my leg to the emergency room doctors, who would undoubtedly laugh at me.

I crouched down (so I could get a clear shot at the nest), took aim and fired a single blast of water...

As it turns out, hornets are fucking weak. The nest went flying and they all fell the the ground in confusion, their wings doused, making them unable to fly. I got all worked up for nothing...

As they wandered around the ground aimlessly, I grabbed this attachment to the hose (a sprinkler wand which, despite it's pansy name, is a deceptively awesome weapon) and, like a cruel god, bashed the shit out of them (probably literally). They are pretty resilient (if utterly powerless) bastards, and some of them took multiple bashes before they got totally squished.

Now, don't get the wrong idea. I'm not (extremely) sadistic, I killed them so they wouldn't rebuild. Honest...

Long story short, I shot (with a hose) and bashed (with a sprinkler wand) stinging insects.

Does that count?

I have fairly broad tastes, but if they flew planes in the second world war I think they might be a bit too old for me.

Nope. White Anglo-Saxon Protestant. But the current usage is a bit more liberal and basically means "rich white dude".

I feel shame from just reading this RhynoD. You are quite terrible. Please redeem yourself with a WASP joke of equal or greater character. You can do it. I believe in you.

*Pulls out the book* (Yes, I have a book)

Did you hear about the Italian who emigrated to Poland?

He raised the IQ of both countries.

(Even with a book and the power of the internet, I cannot find a WASP joke worth telling. I suppose that's the ultimate WASP joke: Ever hear that funny joke about WASPs? No? That's right. There aren't any. WASPs are boring.)

"Irony is a literary or rhetorical device, in which there is an incongruity or discordance between what a speaker / writer /actor says or does, and what he or she means or what is generally understood." -- wikipedia

That word, I do not think it means what you THINK it means.
