    Eeeeewwwww

    I just stopped and looked at my coffee cup. There was something sticking up through the drinking slot, it's one of those commuter mugs.

    It was a cockroach. It was about half an inch long.

    This morning I got in, picked up my coffee mug off my desk and went to the mens room and rinsed it out. There was no cockroach in my coffee cup. I then went to the burrito bistro and got some coffee....half decaf, half vanilla-hazelnut. So the cockroach had to come from the bistros coffee dispenser.

    In other words, everybody who got coffee at the bistro this morning, drank extract of cockroach. I'm just the lucky guy who got the whole cockroach.

    I don't think I'm going to eat there any more.

    Ah... That brings back memories of college.
    I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
    Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…

    I've had the indescribable joy of cleaning out and gutting roach infested houses and apartments in New Orleans after Katrina.

    They also have rats, biiiig rats....

    Read this post At Your Own Risk. Not for weak stomachs.

    I worked in inner-city Chicago with gang members back in the 80's and have sat at the dinner table eating in their homes while roaches crawled across my plate. I continued eating as if nothing had happened.

    You do, of course, remember the old joke:

    What's worse than finding a worm in your apple?

    Finding half a worm.

    ...are ya sure that there was only one in there?
