I think it's probably worth taking a moment here to talk a little about the effects of exposure to Methylphethadorachlorophyll™.

Anybody who's had the misfortune of beeing exposed to significant quantities of Methylphethadorachlorophyll™ already knows the highly uncomfortable and disorienting nature of that substance, which was named after the researcher who created it, Phil Methylphethdorachlorophyll, Ph.Bee.

Beeyond the obvious effect of promoting unconsciousness and
insufferably pounding headaches, the most frequent side-effects of Methylphethadorachlorophyll™ (when used as directed) include,
but are not limited to:

•constipation
•hallucinations
•delusions of grandeur
•loss of fuzz, sometimes significant
•blindness
•heart attack, stroke and possible death
•sneezing
•dry mouth parts
•blurry vision
•unconsciousness (either temporary or permanent)
•a desire to gamble
•loss of appetite
•increased appetite
•clouded thinking
•brittle antennae syndrome (or BAS, for short)
•restless stinger syndrome (or RSS, for short)
•foot blisters
•craving for honey
•trouble flying
•lack of coordination
•a yearning for a desert climate
•increased appreciation of hive beetles
•decreased social skills
•fatigue
•inability to build honeycombs
•defiance of authority
•increased tendency for psychotic dance moves
•heightened appreciation the arts and polka music
•addictive behaviour
•urge to redecorate
•headache
•flatulence (in rare cases)
•pneumomatic cryocicosis (or PC, for short)
•increased thirst
•chronic dry eyes
•unexpected outbursts of unexpected civility
•urge to tell the truth for a change
•compulsive lying
•rapid or irregular pulse
•stomach cramps
•gooey sentimentalism
•increased desire to surf
•chills
•night sweats
•impaired judgement
•compulsive coupon sorting
•bloating
•loss of gravitational pull
•close identification with dark matter
•increased tendencies to vilify bad acting
•the munchies
•discolouration of proboscis
•lazy eye
•increased desire to join the travelling circus
•sleepiness
•dizziness
•weight loss

Knowing this about MethylPhethadorachlorophyll™,
I hafta say that I feel amazingly lucky to have only
suffered temporary unconsiousness, a headache,
a little bit of weight loss, and a slight compulsion to
sort coupons.

By the time the effects of the stuff had worn off and I finally came to,
I realised that the box I was beeing held was beeing unloaded into the back of an airplane. By then, I felt pretty much alert and started paying
more attention to where I might bee - and who might
bee holding me prisoner. But I still didn't know why.

Well, the light bulb in our outside decorations blew out last night, so I need to replace that. I’m glad it’s nicer out today beecause, if you ask me, there aren’t too many things that are more unpleasant than changing outside light bulbs in cold, lousy weather.

I hope everybody has a notably pleasant day!

I’ll see ya’ later!
