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 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.

And non-Scots wonder how we sit down to steamin' plates o' haggis with great delight!

Niiice. Yeah I think I might skip that place as well.

Did you have to pay extra for the protein boost?

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?

When my wife and I were newly weds we lived in not the nicest set of apartments in town. Around two thirty one morning, I felt the gentle caress of my new bride gently sweep across my cheek and down to my neck where she began tickling me. I reached up to take her hand intent on an amorous awakening only to find no hand but the biggest darn German cockroach I have ever seen. I screamed like a little girl while levitating out of the bed, scaring my wife half to death.
I have no love to give to cock-a-roachies.

Growing up in Canada, I never saw a real, live cockroach until my first trip to Mexico. Now that we live in Japan, they are very common (and BIG too). The first time we had one in the house, my wife was so freaked out, she was standing on the couch, screaming. I tried to catch it but as soon as I got close, it took flight and flew across to the other side of the room, all the while my wife is screaming, "OHMYGOD!THEYGOTWINGS!OHMYGOD!"

Never found one in my coffee cup though. The closest I've come is a co-worker sadly informing me that we would no longer be eating a restaurant we used to go to all the time for lunch because apparently, the week before, they had been there for lunch and got served a cockroach in their kim chi -- the restaurant didn't even have the courtesy to apologize.

Yes, the warm, loving embrace of a german cockroach's many arms and legs... So romantic. Reminds me of a Kafka story I once read...



I think they can, though, become addicted to coffee and soda.
