I got stung by a scorpion once.
It hurt like a...
Um...
...well, like something really bad.
Much worse than a bee sting.
Much worse than a bee sting.
I'd never been stung before so I wasn't sure what to expect.
The only thing I knew about scorpions I learned from watching the original Clash of the Titans movie.
Don't laugh! That movie was awesome.
The remake was awful but I'm not sure where they went wrong with it.
Poor Sam Worthington.
Anyway...back to my traumatic scorpion sting:
So, when it happened I was kind of envisioning a 911 call and a trip to the ER in an ambulance.
Envisioning?
More like hoping for!
Alas, it was not to be.
We called a friend who is an EMT and his advice was to...
...put ice on it.
What a downer!
I was really hoping for mutant super powers from this sting!
Teleportation, invisibility, flying...
Put ice on it...sheesh.
Not to get all After School Special on you but the bottom line is this:
When you leave your shoes in the garage always check them for scorpions before putting them back on.
That was your Public Service Annoucement about scorpions.
Don't say you haven't been warned.

Did you kill the Scorpion? I think in the movie the Scorpions' blood created more Scorpions! Anyway I'm pretty sure you guys had that one on Betamax!
ReplyDeleteI actually didn't kill him! I was in too much pain. I picked up the shoe and threw it out in the yard and when I went to get it the scorpion had crawled away. We definitely had it on Beta plus it came on TBS all the time!
