What happens if an insect falls in a cup of coffee ?!

The British: will throw the cup into the street and
    leave the coffee shop for good.

The American: will get the insect out and drink the
    coffee.

The Chinese: will eat the insect and drink the coffee.

The Israeli will:

(1) Sell the coffee to the American and the insect to
    the Chinese.

(2) Cry on all media channels that he feels insecure.

(3) Accuse the Palestinians, Syria and
    Iran of using germ-weapons.

(4) Keep on crying about anti-semitism and violations
    of human rights.

(5) Ask the Palestinian President to stop planting
    insects in the cups of coffee.

(6) Re-occupy the West Bank, Gaza Strip.

(7) Demolish houses, confiscate lands, cut water and
    electrity from Palestinian houses and randomly shoot
    Palestinians.

(8) Ask the United States for urgent military support
    and a loan of one million dollars in order to buy a
    new cup of coffee.

(9) Ask the United Nations to punish the coffee-shop
    owner by making him offer free coffee to him till the
    end of the century.

(10) Last but not least, accuse the whole world to be
     standing still, not even sympathizing with the Israeli
     Nation.

We found a fly in a salad we were splitting last weekend as a starter.
It was half way eaten already, so we put the leaf with the fly aside and
finished the rest of it off. Didn't particularly bother us, but when we
pointed it out the waiter was very apologetic, brought the owner who
removed it from the bill. We were perfectly happy with the outcome... :)

And you have a problem with that, why?

That reminds me of a time last week. I was having my lunchtime pint, 
when a wasp dropped into my companions pint glass. It had a bit of a 
swim and finally clambered out and flew off. Companion picked his drink 
up and finished it. I would have thrown the drink away as this is in a 
country area with lots manuring going on right now.

Really?  I'd have thought most people would have fished out the wasp 
and finished the pint.  Alcohol cures many ills.

Really? Alcohol hasn't cured Mike Reid's floppy cock.

There's a figure somewhere for the weight of insects the average human 
accidentally swallows during a lifetime. Surprisingly high.

In one of my local cafes a couple of years ago I was buying some 
croissants at the counter when I noticed a dying mouse next to my foot 
(it looked like another customer had unwittingly stepped on it). I 
alerted the staff and they came out with brush and pan and disposed of 
it.

That rather put  me off visiting the place for quite a while, but the 
other week I returned for a coffee and cookie. As one of the staff began 
brushing the floor behind the counter, a little mouse dashed out, 
scurried toward me, ran past my chair and hid underneath the chilled 
drinks cabinet. I suppose I should have said something, but I think I'll 
give the place a wide berth from now on.

Yes, I think you should have said something - pointing out it was the 
second time you had encountered a mouse in their establishment and 
suggesting they should take measures to eliminate them.  It would be 
in their best interests.

If it were here. the place would be closed down until they had cleaned up 
their act.  You should report them!

Uugh. That would put me off too, but a fly in salad leaves strikes me as
a little more acceptable...

Some years ago, I used to visit a Chinese bakery in Calgary's Chinatown and 
buy pastries stuffed with bean curd etc.  One day as I was paying, I heard 
two of the bakers nattering away in the bakery at the back of the store. 
Suddenly, one of them "hawked" very loudly and spat!  I never went back.

Makes you wonder about the chocolate chips in the cookies doesn't it.

It was actually a brownie, now I think about it, which are kept in a 
covered jar.

Well, you know the definition of optimism, don't you?  Eating 
blackcurrant jam sandwiches on a picnic without looking to see if the 
seeds move.

It was the raspberries that were full of little wriggling white worms one year.
