A funny thing happened to me on my way home A travelling companion and I had stopped off to tour through the Jenolan Caves. On the other side of the mountain we stopped at a small clearing marked rest stop so that I could pee. There was no toilet just a small grassy slope and a little gully just three feet away. To the gully I went avoiding the stinging nettle all over the ground. We travelled for another 3 quarters of an hour up the mountain when we came to such a beautiful site that we just had to stop. My intention was to take photos but my mobile phone rang. I got out of the car and talked on the phone, I had finished the call and went for the camera and that's when I felt something bite me! The pain was severe and without a second thought I dropped my jeans to my knees and was shocked at what I saw. Perched on my nickers was a huge green ant with big red nippers! I brushed it away and yelled at my friend, I need something cold the burning pain was too much at which time I noticed that he had just taken a cold can of beer out of the camp fridge so I snatched if from him to put on my groin. Why he was laughing so much while I was in pain I did not find amusing but when I look at the picture I understand why it was so funny (just not at that time). It must have been a sight me standing on the side of the road with my jeans around my knees and a cold can of beer pressed to my groin. The ant must have crawled onto the leg of my jeans when I stopped for a pee,he died on that day and though I had three big welts from this creature that lasted for weeks I did see the funny side and I hope it gives you a chuckle. |

Sorry I can't respond to you all individually as I am only a standard member. Jan, Being an Aussie, the beer did eventually end up in the right place.  Jimbob, We came down the mountain to the caves on the west end, drove through the mountain on the eastern side and up the hill. I don't know what the road was called but I will always remember it as Bull Ant Hill,LOL. Pen, Even if there were a video camera he would not have been able to take a pic cause he was laughing his head off, didn't even think to get the camera lol. Vieta, Yes the ant met it's match when my friend showed it his foot, at least my friend had the sense to stomp it but I think only so the ant wouldn't get him too! LOL Jo, That expression will never mean the same to me again! chuckle.
