What’s wrong with having a keg at your high school graduation party?

Of course, I’m talking about a keg of root beer. What’s wrong with it? Let me tell you.

Wasps love root beer.

It helps if there’s a leak in the seal of the keg so a puddle forms to attract a lovely wasp pond — a sugary little retirement community that will attract them by the hundreds.

Soon there will be wasps flying around everyone’s heads and landing on the rims of their cups. At first, this annoys people and makes them want to run away and hide in the house.

Eventually, trapping and killing the wasps becomes a fun party game that entertains the guests, making them start to appreciate the whole ridiculous turn of events.

In the hot sun, they only last about an hour trapped inside a plastic cup. We must have killed about 30 of them that way before the day was through, but the hostess kept throwing them away, preventing an accurate count or photo of the mass carnage.
