I grew up in the country and was stung a few times, and I realized that it didn't hurt, so I wasn't afraid of bees.

My students think the apocalypse is nigh when they see a goddamn bee. I was proctoring an exam and there was a giant bee flying around. The other proctors and I did everything in our power to keep it in the hallway so no student saw it, because trout would have hit the fan.

We succeeded. They never knew.
