1. Un-Bee-Lievable
Ummm...folks...those things you keep calling bees are wasps. They're also known as hornets and yellow jackets.
Click here for a comparison. Unlike bees, wasps are aggressive and can sting multiple times; so, if you're attacked by a swarm of wasps, jumping into a lake is a reasonable course of action. Just don't call them bees.

pi-ña-ta |pēnˈyätə|
noun
(esp. in Spanish-speaking communities) a brightly decorated figure of an animal, usually made of papier mâché, containing toys and candy, and hung in the air so that blindfolded children, taking turns swinging sticks and bats, can smash the figure and share the scattered contents as part of the celebration of a birthday or Christmas or other festival.
- There is no need to hang the piñatas. Full of hot air, they rise above the crowd on their own.
- Those hoping to get what's inside are brainwashed adults, not blindfolded children.
- In debates choreographed by Fox "News," brickbats, not sticks or baseball bats will break open the piñatas.
- The hollow candidates contain empty rhetoric, platitudes, and well-rotted bullshit, not candy.
- There will be no sharing. It's winner take all.
