This talk of plants feeling pain has me feeling so guilty I may need  
extra beer to make it through the day. I was out spraying poison ivy  
this morning when it flashed on me: I am inflicting pain! Those poor,  
defenseless ivy plants are writhing in agony because of me. What a  
beast!

In the ethic of full disclosure I must say that I continued spraying.  
The flash was of very short duration. Rather a mini-flash.
