It began as a bit of fun and became a personal challenge for one semi-naked man and approaching half a million bees. Crowds gathered in Chongqing, southwest China this week to watch – at a distance of 20 metres – as She Ping’s wife and five fellow beekeepers covered the 34-year-old in a “bee dress” made of 456,500 of the insects. It weighed 45kg or more.

“I first did this at 22, just for fun and out of curiosity. Later on, I would put on the bees just for the sake of making people believe I sell actual real honey,” he told the Chongqing Evening Post. “The last time I did this, I put on a total of 15 beehives on my body, but today I’m breaking my own record [with 28].”

The beekeeper said he was “hot, suffocating and nervous” after his 40 minute ordeal and had been stung more than 20 times. His wife fears he will be badly hurt if he continues the stunts. But She added: “The only thought I had was to challenge and overcome myself.”

Joke Of The Day: Pour Another One For My Friend

Rubber Chicken There was a mine in a small town that had completely collapsed. One of the engineers who miraculously survived the disaster went into the local watering hole. The bar was empty except for one lonely soul at the other end of the bar.

“Hey bartender” said the Engineer, “I’ll have a beer and pour another one for my friend down at the end there.”

The bartender responded, “I’m sorry sir but that guy’s a Chinaman and we don’t serve his kind around here.”

“Well, you’d better because if it weren’t for that guy, I wouldn’t be here. You remember that mine that caved in, well I was in that mine and so was that guy. When the last of us were escaping, he held the roof of the mine up with his head! So get him a beer and if you don’t believe me, look at the top of his head and you’ll see that it’s flat from holding the roof up.”

The bartender skeptically served the Chinaman his beer and then came back to talk to the Engineer:

“I saw the flat spot on his head but I also couldn’t help noticing all the bruising under his chin. What’s that all about?”

The engineer responded: “Oh… that’s where we put the jack.”
