There's a fly in my water.......

There are times when people have to realize that we are not alone on this planet. There are things we call bugs. They fly around, they crawl around and they get into things. Sometimes they get into our food and drink. The other day the busboy was filling a glass of water for a customer, and as he walked away I heard her exclaim, “Oh my god, look at that! Oh! I can’t believe it! This is really grossing me out!” I thought that perhaps a dead rat appeared on the table, but no, there was a fly in her glass of water. So I quickly reached for the glass, took it away, went in the kitchen and got her another glass of water. I thought this was a simple solution to a simple problem. After all, it was just a fly, at one time or another, I’m sure that most of the population of the world has had one in their house.



Rather than dwell on the subject, I decided to just carry on. I wasn’t about to give the situation more drama than it merited. I asked than if they would like to start with an appetizer. The husband joked that his wife had already had her appetizer, so I told them I would have to charge for a protein snack.


Ya gotta love it when people decide to dine outside on the terrace, and complain because there is a bug flying about. I’ve found the best way to deal with this, (because after all, how dare a bug infringe on their space), is to tell them it must a renegade bug, because we clearly spoke to the rest and declared this to be a “No Fly Zone.”
