Re: Inebriated insects
Last year at a Hort Trade Show, I purchased a round of beer for the
group manning the booth of my favorite vendor. The trade shows have
thousands of plants displayed to show off each growers various wares,
and one of the group set her beer on the edge of a planter while she
answered questions from a prospective customer. Perhaps 10 minutes had
passed before she picked it back up, and lo and behold, a slug had beat
her to the drink!
