Belly

I asked J this week, at the local pub, what was the weirdest food he had ever eaten.

He said, 'Squirrel'.

He asked me the same question.

I like it when people engage in a dialogue. So many don't!

I answered, 'Tongue'.

I added, 'The thing is, I didn't know where it had been before it arrived on my plate and I when I did try to eat it I had this tendancy to stick it in my mouth and allow it to flap around - so it looked like I had a very swollen tongue.'

He understood.

So man sitting opposite me, who is the double of friend's boyfriend - now it gets a bit weird - who has a steel pole through his tongue - and I did explain the dangers of piercing to which he divulged just a little bit too much information on the other 'things' he has had pierced!!!

This episode has little to do with coffee - but he has introduced me to the delights of Illy and I am drinking it whilst typing this...

The point is that he could easily become a sprinkler when he drinks the stuff.

I feel quite queasy.

Goodness knows what I will write on his appraisal.
