Several times over the decades, my dad found himself being pursued in the
hayfield by hundreds of angry yellowjackets, who apparently never heard of
passive aggression. Each time the only way to get away was to leave the
tractor engine running, then run as fast as he could while swatting at the
malevolent beasts until they turned their attention back to the tractor.

Once a neighbor, not knowing what was happening, thought Daddy had gone
stark raving mad. And when you're being stung by dozens of these little
meanies, that's a pretty accurate description!
