"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!".
