Bees don't sting idiots



From Mark Twain's Huckleberry Finn...


Jim said bees wouldn't sting idiots; but I didn't believe that, because I had tried them lots of times myself, and they wouldn't sting me.


I'm almost sure Mr. Clemens had a great time thinking about this aphorism, just imagining how many idiots would go right out and try it.

I've tried it many times. The bees always sting me with the greatest enthusiasm.
