  1. (continued from previous page)
    went up the leg of his britches, and started stinging him. There were alot of ladies in the carriage, and they began laughing. So he had to let down his britches, and he put them out the window, and started shaking them, and trying to knock off the bees. Just then he was passing by a bridge, and someone knocked the britches out of his hands, and he was left without any, and he started screaming. The guards were called, and when they came they brought him away to the Mental Hospital.
