I think there is probably some sort of theological understanding to be gained in the exercise of shooing a wasp out an open window.

It's sad. It's angry. It's distressed. It doesn't want to be there. It keeps trying, resolutely, to fly out the closed side of the window. Its inability to do so makes it angrier. You take a safe implement and try to coax it toward the open side, and this interference makes it all the more resolute to get out the closed side. Its wrath is palpable: Stop hasslin' me with yer &"^"%£%! piece of junk mail! I'm tryna get outta here! Yes, I want you out, too. Out is this way. Come on, I don't want to hurt you. $*£& off ya *$£&ing &£^£$"**! Please just let me show you where the window is open. I can see where it's &^*^%* open! It's right £&*$£ here, ^"!%!&£% it! Then you finally get it there, or resort to trapping it under a cup, and it flies off like Sheesh, about time!

Brought to you by an old house full of cracks which is irresistible to wasps for about four weeks every spring.
