A Bug's Life or Honeymoon Adventure in Hawaii


... lasts approximately 2 hours

Jim was fast asleep with his wife, Tessie, on their hotel bed in beautiful Hawaii, enjoying the best honeymoon ever, when he felt something creeping up his right cheek. He batted at it, but the "Ipis", in its panic, honed in on the closest place of refuge --- Jim's right ear! Deeper and deeper into the ear canal the cockroach burrowed, despite Jim's screams of terror and pain, and his frenzied attempts to extricate it. Jim's two hours of torture finally ended when the cockroach floated out of his ear --- dead, from drowning -- with the help of an emergency room doctor plus some mineral oil.

Whew.  Thank You, Lord for your care of Jim and Tess.
