The doctor had warned Tara (pictured) that the prescription might make her feel a little itchy--even like something was crawling on her. "Don't worry," he told her, "it's just the medicine." But she couldn't shake the feeling that she really did have a bug crawling on her.

Billy Ray should have read the fine print in the HOA guidelines before he bought his home. He never seemed to have a month without at least one letter from the HOA citing some infraction and a demand that it be immediately corrected, or he'd be fined . . .

Homer had thought that putting out his web in the cold (for the Texas Gulf Coast) winter while all the other spiders stayed at home would mean no competition, and he was right. Sadly, all of the bugs also stayed in--slim pickings . . .

Angelina (pictured) had been upset that she had been born a simple worker bee until she got a good look at the alternatives. Males live a short life, reproduce and die, and the queen bears thousands of babies and never gets outside. Suddenly, buzzing around gathering pollen and nectar on a sunny afternoon didn't seem so bad; in fact she drove her hive mates a little crazy, always buzzing around saying, "No worries, mate!" or worse yet, singing that stupid "Don't worry, be happy!" song . . .

Charlene (pictured) was ill at ease. Most flowers were open and welcoming; this fellow certainly was not. The way the lower petals remained tightly closed made her wonder if maybe there was a little Venus Flytrap in its history . . .

Chuck (pictured, right) didn't mind sharing his rose with the neighbors, but the big guy just wouldn't quit pushing . . .
