European ants

Dad: “Hey, look – it’s that giant fiber glass ant-statue I told you about.”
[Large fiberglass statue with black and yellow stripes passes.]
Me: “Dude, that’s a bumble bee. Notice the stripes?”
Dad: “No it’s not – it’s a European ant.”
Me: “If that were true, it would have a beret, a neck-scarf, and be smoking.”
Dad: “Okay, good point.”
