WTF?
Flying ants
What are you doing behind that bush?
Ssssh... I’m hiding.
Not very well. Anyway, what or whom are you trying to avoid?
Flying ants — they’re everywhere this year.
Ha! Ants can’t fly. The joke is on you.
Actually, in summer, young male ants sprout wings and take to the air. And they’ve been spreading mayhem.
Sounds like a Temple Bar stag party — only with less crossdressing.
It’s no laughing matter. The he-ants have hatched early this year and it’s causing chaos, especially at Wimbledon.
People are actually paying attention to Wimbledon? Don’t they know there’s a World Cup on?
Anyone bothering to watch will have got more than they bargained for this week — such as Danish champ Caroline Wozniacki trying to play through a swarm of bugs.
Wasn’t she engaged to Rory McIlroy? She probably knows all about spending the summer with a midge.
She wasn’t seeing the funny side after her surprise loss to Russian Ekaterina Makarova. Wozniacki was one of the favourites this year.
She isn’t blaming the bugs for her defeat, surely?
Well, she wasn’t happy, though she refused to pin it on her six-legged foes for her defeat. She did, however, say: “They’re in my mouth and in my hair and everywhere — we need to do something. Is there a spray? I want to be here to focus on tennis, not eating bugs.”
Of course, this leaves one unanswered question.
Yes, where were the bugs when England were winning on penalties? Maybe they’ll reach Russia in time for the Sweden game tomorrow...
