Waiter, theres a fly in my soup...

The FDA limit on aphids in hops used for beer is 3,500 aphids per bushel, and personally I refuse to drink beer made from hops with fewer than 7,500 aphids per bushel. They just don't have enough 'body'.

In a lighter vein:
Dinner to server:
"Waiter, what is this fly doing in my soup?"
Waiter to dinner:
"Sir, I thank that is called the backstroke,
 
... as i was emptying the old garlic powder to top off the new, a mummified fly fell out. [so i contacted McCormick]

Today, I got this email:

I am not casting dispersion on you or on your mother but the railroad baron Cornelius Vanderbilt got a customer complaint about being bitten by a bed bug on one of Colonel Vanderbilt's trains. Mr. Vanderbilt turned the letter over to his secretary along with a short note on how to handle this 'problem' By mistake the secretary sent the note in the envelope along with the letter of apology The note read as follows.
"Send this SOB the bed bug letter"
I guess that the more things change the more things stay the same.

My husband and I were eating at a local wing place and were eating our wings, when we found a stink bug that had gotten ground up and mixed into the sauce. I actually started laying the pieces out and had found MOST of the bug, but there were a few chunks missing. We continued eating and ate all of our food, but we flagged down a waitress to let her know, they might want to check that sauce, because if the bug had gotten into the main vat and not just in ours, the missing pieces could end up on someone elses plate... They freaked out, ran, got the owner, they comped the bill, it was ridiculous... She ended up getting a $50 tip because I was planning on paying with a 50 and what was left over would be the tip... You couldn't taste anything off with the sauce, if we hadn't seen a wing we probably wouldn't have noticed.
