I Win

Years ago I was descending fast on the Coast Hiway into Stinson Beach. A wasp hit me in the eyeball proper, felt like a BB gun put my eye out and nearly caused me to crash while exceeding the Fred wahoo speed. My eyelid closed around the wasp and of course it stung my eyelid. I had no idea if it actually had stung my eyeball because of the impact. When I got into Sinson Beach I stopped at the Fire Station for some quick and free assessment of the situation, it was painful and very confusing (scary) for a bit, not knowing what heck would happen if the eyeball was stung.
