When animals attack...I once, accidentally, punched a racoon.
It had wandered into my tent, I was half asleep and thought it was a mate pratting around. There was a yelp and then all hell broke loose.
What have you been attacked by?

Wasps...Ever seen a wasp (NOT a hornet) that was over 2 inches (45mm) long?
No, not kidding... I have a scaled photo to prove it.
Ever gone into your kitchen in the dark and unknowingly grabbed it in your hand thinking that it was a peice of pizza lying on your worktop?
Ever heard a grown man shreik like a girl (when it buzzzzed in his hand)?
Drop the buzzzing thing, run out of the kitchen and turn the light on as you leave. Shut the door and look back through the porthole. Then wonder how on Earth you got away with not being stung by a stinger that was in all likelihood the size of a drawing pin?
Then you hit the problem... wasp-killer spray is in the kitchen... with a very, very bad-tempered armour-plated alien killing machine flying around.
The solution... your friend arrives (on his way round to the pub) and you get them to go into the kitchen to investigate, armed only with the West London (very very heavy) copy of the Yellow Pages.
Find killer wasp on the floor... drop the Yellow pages onto it from a six foot height and... problem solved.
(Thanks Steve... you're a good mate.)
Come to think of it, that was the first and only time I have ever had a use for the Yellow Pages.
