This chap went into a freeway cafe where he noticed that they had
pea soup on the menu -- his FAVOURITE! "Excuse me",he said,"Could I
have a bowl of your pea soup?". To which the girl at the counter
replied, motioning across the room, "I'm sorry sir but that gentleman
had the last bowl". So he ordered chicken soup instead. As luck would
have it, the only seat available was opposite the chap with the last
bowl of pea soup, but HE didn't seem to be enjoying it at all. He just
sat there turning the spoon in his soup, so this chap said, "I see 
you're not enjoyng your soup! Would you like to trade?". The other
chap readily agreed so he grabbed the pea soup and ate it hurriedly.
As he finished the last spoonful he discovered a dead cockroach in the
bowl, at which point he threw up, refilling the bowl. The other chap 
watched it all quietly and then said, "yeah, that's as far as I got!".
