Scorpion attack on Sheila

Sheila was drying dishes and felt a sting on her hand. There, clinging to the towel, was a scorpion. She shook it into a bowl and drowned it without saying a word to me. Then she found me studying and asked for a kiss on the hand. Ask her how it felt. If I had been bitten, no doubt it would have been to the bone and I could have worked that for good loves for some time. Sheila was sure civil about the whole matter. We don't put our fingers under anything without looking and now check our shoes before pulling them on in the morning.

I thought scorpions were seriously poisonous?
