Went to the local park today. All in all, not a bad day. $6.57 in clad, a small childs silver ring, and a Toy Car!!!!! After returing to my truck I pulled out the toy car from my pouch, knock the dirt off and thought I'd give it to one of the grandkids..... I decided to put it in my pocket until I got home. This is were the trouble started... At about a half mile from the park and 60 miles an hour later.... I realize something is wrong. Aparently, the this tiny car is the housing for about 200 red ants. Needless to say, trying to get rid of ants while standing on the brakes...... Well, no good driver awards for me. I quess the if there is a good side to this story is that I didn't encounter any law enforcement. I would have had a hard time explaining the lack of pants........

Yet another lesson learned......

While I know it was painful and embarassing, it is also very very funny. Thanks for sharing, it made for a great laugh.

Not so lucky. . . Fire ants

Hence the willingness to give up the pants.
