my absolute favorite card in Cards Against Humanity is
because of the question mark
we aren’t quite sure if it’s bees
it could be bees
it might be bees
it’s probably bees
but we just can’t be certain as to whether it is or is not bees
Beekeepers are careful to tell their bees everything important that concerns the family and household–births, marriages, deaths, a new set of curtains, and suchlike. But that’s not superstition, just the practical observation that if you don’t tell them, they will fly indoors to find out for themselves.
