This is a true story:
A lady was attacked by a vicious swarm of bees. She tried to take cover in one of the nearby buildings. Unfortunately, the people inside refused to let her in fearing that the bees might follow her in as well. She tried to take cover in another building, but the people there also refused to let her in. One woman even shoved her down onto the ground and shut the door on her.
Her numerous pleadings for help were to no prevail. In her desperation, she attempted to fight off the venomous bees. Unfortunately, they were too much for her. It was a difficult scene to stomach. The people inside the buildings could do nothing but watch and apparently take a few photos. The lady was already dead when the authorities came. There were thousands of bee stings on her body. It was an act of nature, proclaimed one of the witnesses.

I am not familiar with most of the sports in the Winter Olympics, but I will watch the Games anyway. Many of the athletes have spent their entire lives preparing for this moment. I will support them by watching the Olympics. What is your favorite part of the Games? Mine is the opening ceremony.

I used to date this one girl. It happened that her dad was a chess aficionado. He asked me to play with him every time I came to the girl’s house. Unfortunately, the guy was terrible at playing chess and he DIDN’T seem to know that. To keep him happy, I let him win every time. Sadly, the guy was not a gracious winner.
One day, I was so fed up with his antics that I decided to teach him a lesson by absolutely crushing him in chess. Well, the guy apparently was not a gracious loser either. He called me a lucky bastard and threw all the chess pieces onto the floor. At that moment, I decided that I had had enough. I walked out of the house and never returned again. I guess I did not like his daughter as much as I thought.

I wrote about this some time ago. Well, it happened again. A person jumped off a building in an attempted suicide. She landed on a passerby. The suicidal person survived; the bystander was killed. I think she should be charged with homicide. Agree?
