The Warrior’s Code – Ten Ways To Deal With Mosquito Attacks

The warrior is always ready for battle when the summer months descend upon him. The warrior is strong. The warrior is brave. The warrior is noble. The warrior knows his enemy. And above all else the warrior lives by the code:

Ten Ways To Deal With Mosquito Attacks

1) The warrior will dedicate ten minutes of every night to standing on the bed in his underwear so he might hunt the enemy before he rests his head upon his pillow.

2) The warrior will smite the enemy wherever they are found; on the curtain, by the light fitting, on Mr Fluffykins the bear, on his own face.

3) The warrior is highly skilled with all weapons of combat; the rolled up news paper, the sock, the opened hand, the deodorant plus lighter.

4) The warrior will not raise his hand in anger against innocent bugs of the non-blood sucking kind. Especially the noble spider who is his ally against the true enemy (and technically an arachnid, not a bug).

5) The warrior will sleep lightly, with one ear opening, listening for the buzz of the enemy, ready to swat at the air.

6) The warrior will protect his woman by producing higher amounts of carbon dioxide, octenol and other compounds that attract the enemies’ bites.

7) The warrior will protect himself with the armor of battle; the pillow over the head.

8) The warrior will curse the name of the enemy with his every breath.

9) The warrior will treats his itchy red wounds of battle the next morning with soothing cream.

10) The warrior will wear his itchy red wounds of battle with pride and compare the amount and locations with other warriors when telling tales of heroism.

And above all else; The warrior will not scratch… He never scratches.
