Two Men Speaking and Hornets:

man 1: It’s a lovely day today isn’t it?
man 2: why yes it is, we are lucky to have such a nice day.

Enter the hornets. Hornets begin to swarm about the men.

man 1: Why look at all these wonderful bees, bees make honey you know?

man 2: Why yes they do, but one has just stung me!

man 2 swats the hornet and it dies.

man 1: Why did you kill that bee? That bee has every right to sting you for we are in it’s environment.

man2: That bee wasn’t a bee, it was a fucking hornet, fuck, I am getting the fuck out of here!

man 1: You go on then, I am going to stay here and have a chat with these bees. Possibly I can speak to them and understand why they have stung you.

man 2: They stung you because they are mean ass hornets, that’s why!

man 1: No, these aren’t hornets silly, they are bees! Look, they are yellow and black stripped and therefore bees.

man 2: No they aren’t god damnit, they are hornets - let’s get out of here!

man 1: Ouch, one of these bees has just stung me. No doubt he is angry that I am in his territory. I must think like a bee, I must understand the bee.

man 2: Come on, fuck, I just got stung again!

Man 2 kills another hornet.

Man 1: You BUTCHER. They stung me because you killed one of their brothers. You are a horrible man! I hate you! How dare you treat these bees like this! I am beginning to think you have an ulterior motive. Are you stealing their honey? They feel that you are threatening their queen for christs sake!

Man 2: Dude, these are hornets, they don’t make honey as far as I know, they just kill other bugs and sting whatever gets in their fucking way.

Man 1: Your ignorance is amazing! Ouch!

Man 1 is stung by hornet.

Man 2: Why are you still sitting there, let’s leave!

man 1: I consider this pain as a gift from the bees. They are symbolically stating the pain that you have caused them by stealing their honey and killing their brothers.

Man 2 leaves and comes back with bugspray. He begins killing the hornets in a crazed fashion. The hornets all die.

Man 1: Well I hope you are happy that you killed all of these wonderful bees. I am ashamed to even know you.

Man 2: Dude, they really were hornets!

Man 1: Whatever

Man 2: you want to go get some beer?

Man 1: Yeah sure.
