Funny (not necessarily ha ha funny) story --
(continued)...
And just then, a huge hornet swept down out of nowhere and stung me in the neck...
(continued)...
🎵And that when the hornet stung me🎵
I looked up at the ceiling and said, "Sorry, Gord." and drank the next toast in silence.
🥂🤣
But still, a pretty weird story to tell. And after I swatted it off my neck, it vanished. The damn thing was almost as big as my thumb, and there was no sign of it.
I don't really believe in the supernatural, but damn. 😆
Sadly ironic, it's about a guy with terminal cancer who takes a motorcycle trip across Canada... and Gord plays a cancer survivor he meets on his travels.
A must-watch I highly recommend. Cheers again to Gord.
🥂💔
