LAST LAUGH

My son asked me to help him install a new high-definition roof antenna. I followed him up the extension ladder, carrying everything I needed for the job. Halfway up, I realized that my son had disturbed a hornets’ nest behind the gutter, and they were coming out in force to see what the rumble was. Since it was too late to avoid them, I plowed right past, with only a couple of stings. But now we were stuck on the roof.
