So, in the customary fashion I washed a promisingly ripe peach under the faucet and sliced it around each axis to separate it into quarters for ease of consumption. The flesh held to the pit but I quickly wrastled one segment free and stuffed it down my greedy gullet. Delicious. Meanwhile, I proceeded to separate the remainder but as is often the case the pit actually came apart and it was then -to my shock and horror, that I spied a live earwig secreted inside! Aaaagh! :Q
Reflexively, I shook it into the sink disposal unit with some sassifaction, knowing the detestable creature would be devoured by the mechanical maw as though 'twere the Great Pit of Carkoon itself. Or did I? Because then, still reeling, I notice out of the corner of my eye an earwig crawling on the floor beneath me! Was it the same one or had there been two?! I quickly scooped it up in paper tower and decisively smushed it making sure it would not escape again. Revolted, the rest of the peach followed it into the trash. :disgust:
