True . I saw the patent filing . <| sep |> Once when I was a kid , my family had a wasp nest underground in our front yard . One day , our gardener was cutting our grass , when he noticed the nest . Instead of ignoring the nest and informing my parents about it as would be the smart choice , he decided to take action . Now , I happened to be staring out the front window at the time , so I saw what he did . He wadded up a couple pieces of paper and stuck them in the nest . Then , he set fire to the paper , expecting it to kill all of the wasps . It , in fact , only enraged them . They began swarming and stung him multiple times . I was a little shit , so of course I found it funny . Hell , I still do all of these years later . I mean , of course it ' s sad that he was stung so many times , but what was he expecting ? A couple pieces of paper that would burn for 10 or 15 seconds would destroy an entire nest and there ' d be no issue standing right next to it as it happened ?
