He said he got stung so we all went back to sleep. I fired up the lantern the next morning and about died laughing. He looked like he had a hotdog stuffed in his upper lip. :chuckle:

One by one,as we all got out of bed and got a look at him we just started laughing our asses off.It stayed swollen for 3-4 days. Its a couple years later and I still bust out laughing if I think of him and his lip. :chuckle:
