Chickens in the Basement

I love to write and I love to laugh. When I write, I get to the point quick. My stories would fit on the back of a postcard. They usually make me chuckle. And you know what they say, "It's all about me!"

Stink Bug Orgy

Last week, we were headed off to the beach for a couple of days. Before going, I had to make sure The Girls were taken care of. The water tank was nearly empty and had more mosquito larvae floating in it than I cared to have chewing on my naked legs in the weeks to come!


I hauled the tank up to the faucet and filled it to the top. Since I had already dressed for the trip, I didn't want the tank bumping up against my legs on the way back to the chicken house. Not wanting to play the "female card", I got creative and grabbed the grasshopper (my seat on wheels I use when pulling weeds), propped the water tank on top and headed down the hill.


When I stopped to readjust the tank, I saw a group of bugs crawling around on the handle.

On closer look, I realized all the bugs were paired up. Not only were they paired up, they were end to end. I immediately had flashbacks to dogs who somehow got twisted around during the sex act and couldn't get apart. (The boy dog always looks like he's in pain and the girl just looks humiliated!)



Do you think I scared the stink bugs so much when I snatched up the grasshopper and tossed the water tank on top that they spun around and got stuck? I have to wonder!

Admit it! You read the title and couldn't resist reading it! Right?

You had me at Stink Bug but the orgy part really drew me in. Be careful, you may get red flagged for posting stink bug porn!

Favorite pickup line of teenaged boy stinkbugs:

"Baby, the world is obviously ending with that giant monster putting us on this trailer thingie, and I have never experienced love. I'd like... I'd like to experience it once before we die."

I could not imagine where you were going with this but it cracked me up. Sounds like love bugs!

Sharon said...

Guess I am just tired, I just figured you had a stink bug problem. I believe with all that fornicating going on, you are going to be up to your ankles in stink bugs!

You're supposed to kill those buggers when you see them. They are not native to here and they have no natural predator. They are poised to take over the world!

I totally would have played the "girl card." ;)
