I Knew It

By Bess Levin

“Thain is also a beekeeper, and used to keep hives in the backyard of his Rye, New York, estate…In his time as a beekeeper he was only stung once. ‘They don’t sting unless you aggravate them,’ he says.”

    John Thain would not comment on our question about when honey season begins because we never asked him.

    is Thain responsible for the Catastrophic Hive Collapse disorder? is it related to the sub-prime mortgage mess?

    And he knows that when you take their honey, you distract the bees by blowing smoke.

    Or what? You’ll release the dogs? Or the bees? Or the dogs with bees in their mouth and when they bark they shoot bees at you?

    You have no idea what you did…. You blew out my supply of pink windshield fluid, it was tears of joy when those last drops of pink fluid squirk out, and now I can reload with the blue fluid.

    @ 12:36: you do know that you can mix the pink and the blue? mixing blue into pink doesn’t make the fluid gay.

    Once released, those dogs may not come back. Crying won’t bring them back, unless your tears smell like dog food. So you can either sit there crying and eating can after can of dog food until your tears smell enough like dog food to make your dogs come back or you can go out there and find your dogs.
