Beth-Hill doesn't get plagues of locusts every seventeen years. We get plagues of ladybugs. Not the kindly ladybugs of folklore, or the ones that eat aphids, either. Ours are imported Asian ladybugs that bite, stink when you squish them, and like to fly into whatever you're drinking right before you raise your glass to your lips.
The only consolation I have is that they flick quite nicely and tend to bounce off the walls if they don't realize what's happening and fly away first.
Not that I'm writing a dissertation on ladybugs, but I had just scored a goal with ladybug #17 when Penny buzzed me through the intercom.
"Ms. Montgomery?"
ARRGH!! No, no, NO! Must... resist... *whimper*
