Me to ChatGPT: Write a funny and ironic story about a wasp that eats a person’s turkey sandwich.
GPT: In the small town of Bugsville, there lived a wasp named Wally. Wally wasn’t your typical wasp; he had a refined taste for the finer things in life. While other wasps were content with pollen and nectar, Wally craved something more… substantial. His favorite treat? A perfectly made turkey sandwich.
One sunny afternoon, Wally was buzzing around the local park, scouting for his next gourmet delight. It was then that he spotted it—a picnic table, with a human named Bob sitting alone, unwrapping a delicious turkey sandwich. The sandwich was perfect: thick slices of turkey, fresh lettuce, juicy tomatoes, and a generous dollop of mayo, all nestled between two slices of artisan bread.
Wally’s tiny eyes lit up with excitement. “This is it,” he thought, “the sandwich of my dreams.” He watched as Bob took a leisurely bite, savoring the flavor. Wally’s impatience grew. He had to act fast. Mustering all his courage, he zoomed towards the sandwich at full speed.
Bob, engrossed in his phone, didn’t notice Wally’s approach. With military precision, Wally landed on the sandwich, right on the juicy slice of turkey. Bob raised the sandwich to his mouth, but just as he was about to take another bite, he saw Wally.
Startled, Bob let out a yelp and dropped the sandwich. Wally clung to his prize, unphased by the chaos. The sandwich hit the ground, and Wally began his feast, savoring each bite of the succulent turkey.
Bob stared in disbelief as Wally enjoyed his lunch. “Of all the days,” Bob muttered, shaking his head. “I skip breakfast for this?”
As Wally munched away, he couldn’t help but feel a bit smug. He had outsmarted a human and gotten the meal of a lifetime. Little did he know, he had become the park’s new celebrity. People started gathering, taking photos and videos of the wasp that dared to steal a turkey sandwich.
Bob, seeing the humor in the situation, laughed and decided to join in the fun. He took out his phone and snapped a picture of Wally, who was now posing triumphantly on the sandwich. “Well, Wally,” Bob said, “you win this round.”
From that day on, Wally was known as “Wally the Sandwich Connoisseur,” and his story spread throughout Bugsville and beyond. Bob, on the other hand, learned to always keep an eye on his food, especially when Wally was around.
And so, in a twist of fate, a simple turkey sandwich brought together a man and a wasp, creating a story that would be told in picnics for years to come.

How it all started: I was having lunch when the wasp swept in for my turkey scraps. I used the ChatGPT app to take a photo of my Canon 5D screen to identify and get more info.
GPT: This is an image of a wasp, likely from the Vespidae family, which includes species like yellow jackets and hornets. These insects are characterized by their distinctive black and yellow markings. Wasps can be beneficial as they prey on other insects, but they can also be aggressive, especially if their nests are disturbed. If you need more specific identification or information about wasps, feel free to ask!
Me: It ate my turkey sandwich
GPT: Wasps are known to be attracted to protein-rich foods, and your turkey sandwich fits that description. During late summer and early fall, wasps are especially aggressive in their search for food. If you frequently encounter wasps while eating outdoors, here are a few tips to keep them away:
Cover your food: Use food covers or keep your food wrapped until you’re ready to eat.
Keep your surroundings clean: Dispose of food waste and clean up spills promptly to avoid attracting wasps.
Use wasp deterrents: Consider using natural deterrents like sliced cucumber or essential oils (like peppermint or eucalyptus) which can repel wasps.
Set up traps: Commercial wasp traps or homemade versions using sugar water can help reduce the wasp population in the area.
By taking these precautions, you can reduce the likelihood of wasps interfering with your meals.
Me: What about a flame thrower?
GPT: Using a flamethrower to deal with wasps is highly dangerous and strongly discouraged for several reasons:
- Safety Risk: A flamethrower can cause serious injury to you and others nearby. It also poses a significant fire hazard, especially in dry or wooded areas.
- Property Damage: Flames can easily get out of control, leading to damage to your property or surroundings.
- Legal Issues: The use of flamethrowers is regulated and often illegal in many places due to the risks involved.
- Environmental Impact: Using fire can harm not just the wasps but also other beneficial insects and wildlife in the area.
A safer and more effective approach is to use commercial wasp sprays, traps, or call a pest control professional. These methods can help manage wasp problems without the risks associated with using a flamethrower.
