OK it was official.
Professor Lawson, of the MR variety, was extremely lovely, funny and a great teacher.But he was now offically nuts too.Why on earth would anyone volunteer to be stung? It hurt like heck afterwards, certainly in Sarah's experiance of wasp stings.Maybe billywig stings were different? It appeared to be so when Lawson went flying in the air laughing his head off. Well, he doesn't look too hurt, she thought, watching him bob around giggling like a girl.A little less manly maybe....

Hang on.Lawson (MRS) was asking them if they wanted a go? Sarah let out an involuntary "Haha" as the question sunk in.Would she like to be stung and float above the ground, giggling? Hmmmm.She looked down at the still frozen billywig in her hand and sighed.It didn't look that mean and nasty, maybe it didn't hurt? She was about to offer when, to her surprise, half the class volunteered first. "Oh," she started, oddly deflated. "I was going to volunteer Professor, but you seem to have enough people already...."
