ASKING THE IMPORTANT QUESTIONS: Does Your Insect Repellent Repel Insects? When I was in Alaska there were mosquitoes of truly appalling size, but I just put a dab of 100% DEET on my neck and wrists and never got bitten.

I did wake up one night, though, and there were two mosquitoes at the foot of my bed.

One said: Should we take him home, or eat him here?

The other replied: We’d better eat him here. If we take him home, the big guys might get him away from us.

Thanks, I’ll be here all weekend. Try the veal!
