Soon to become Eric the Half a Bee.

(old joke)

Q)- What’s the last thing that goes through a bee’s mind when it hits your windshield?

A)- It’s stinger.

Sometimes you’re the windshield, ….

In a parallel universe…

Kamikazbees?

Nothing can go wrong here, right?

I wonder if automakers have a bee cannon like aircraft makers have a chicken cannon.

I read an article where a automobile manufacturer specified that the rear window of a car be stressed to withstand a 50 mph impact with a small object such as a pebble. The glass manufacturer ignored the specification since nobody drives 50 mph backwards.

The cars were shipped by train, rear window forward.

I am unable to confirm the story, but don’t ignore the specs; they are there for a reason.

Bee safe out there!

Trying to calculate the Bee Gees of force to keep Stayin Alive…

Crash test dumb bee.

As a complete non-sequitur (no pun intended), I immediately thought, “There’s Gold Bug” — [Richard Scarry’s “Cars and Trucks and Things That Go,” 1974]. Great kids’ book.

Buzz off, the dummy will crash head on and then where will you BEE?

Some days you’re the bug, some days you’re the windshield….

Remember the old when the bee would miss and fly in the vent window and your wife would scream like a banshee.

Well, I’ll bee…

Test results: Human probability of survival – maybe not bad. Bug probability of survival – Zero.

This is going to sting.

SPLAT!

Is that a Killer Queen, is she equipped with a laser beam.

Clipboards. How quaint.

Sometimes you’re the windshield, sometimes you’re the bug.

You’ll soon need a little AI “crash-dummy” in there somewhere, too.

Very clever @MarkParisi

My money’s on the crash test bee. In fact, I think there’s an expression of concern on the face of the crash test dummy.

He won’t have the guts to do that again.

i dont understand this joke, any help out there?
