Reminds me of when some of 'my lot' were taken on jungle training by the Ghurkhas. One of the 'Toms' saw this coconut-thing hanging from a tree and swinging his rifle he gave it a whack. At that point what seemed like several zillion exceedingly irritated *hornets* erupted and 20-odd tough, hairy-arsed paras had to leg it down the trail at high speed and jump in the river to escape their attentions.

Wish I'd had one of those last year, but I would probably have set fire to the roof, the nearby church and probably the rest of the village...
