Can’t Be Sure.
A man called this afternoon and needed some advice. He’d been bitten by a bug and wanted to know what it was. Some choice quotes:
1. “It had an olive green body, an orange head, and a white stripe down its back.”
2. “It was a little smaller than a ladybug. But I can’t be sure because there weren’t any ladybugs in my room then.”
3. “It could’ve been a banana bug. I ate a banana yesterday.”
4. “The pest control guy said he hasn’t seen a banana bug in New York in 30 years!”
