Flawed logic and cockroach
Conversation between a couple who are presently doing the long distance thingy.
PC Man- "So me and D went out for dinner today"
Fuzzy- *Enjoying the third helping yummy pudding her mom made* "Oh!good for you. Where did you go?"
PC Man- "We thought we will go back to that Hakka place near the mall ,you remember?"

Fuzzy- *Appalled* "That place? I thought we had decided we would never go back there after they served us that bowl of soup from hell"!
PC Man- *with a pause* Well,it had good beer
Fuzzy- *Thinks "Men!what a bunch of irrational species"* Of course,it has to be all about the beer!So then what happened?"
PC Man- "We ordered some Hakka noodles,chicken friend rice and some lip smacking chicken lollipop...but then we found a dead cockroach amidst it"

Fuzzy- *stops stuffing her face with that pudding and almost gags* "Ewww...I told you that place is evil. Eww...tell me you guys gave them a earful for such disgusting service"
PC Man- *hesitates a bit* Well, we did but we thought we could go ahead and finish the pieces before that you see"
Fuzzy- *Hears the faint dying cry of her appetite* "Eww..good god!what possessed you guys to go ahead and still finish it in spite of a dead cockroach in your food? "
PC Man-"Just hear me out. Look,we gave it some thought. We had two choices
1. Stop eating and complain about it. They would just apologize and replace it with another plate
2. Finish the plate and then complain about it. Then they would feel more sorry and maybe waive the whole dinner off

..So we put our heads together and by logical thinking we decided we will go ahead and finish the plate and then complain"
Fuzzy- *Absolutely speechless at the logic* So did it work?
PC Man- *clears the throat* Hmm..not exactly.
Fuzzy- Why,what happened?
PC Man- "Well,we finished the delicious chicken" *Fuzzy cringes on the other end* and called the waiter and showed him the lifeless body to him and dramatically complained. But then the owner came by apologized and we just got another complimentary plate of chicken free. 
Fuzzy- So essentially your plan didn't work?

Fuzzy- So essentially your plan didn't work?
PC Man- "How can you say that?we still got another plate of yummy chicken lollipop free!" *shaking head at the utter dumbness of his wife*
Fuzzy- *Shaking her head also at the other end in utter disbelief* "But you essentially ate 2 plates of cockroach infested chicken without getting any money back?"
PC Man- "We got one plate free..and anyway it was after all a small cockroach. Gary (for people who don't know this famous creature- He is PC Man's hero who lets himself loose in some wild forsaken places and shows people how to survive by eating absolutely disgusting pieces of any fellow live creatures that he can find) eats even things worse than this and you know I'm just preparing myself to survive anywhere.
Fuzzy- "Tell me ,please tell me you didn't eat any part of the cockroach?"
Fuzz- Ewwwwww........Ewww.....
PC Man- *thoroughly enjoying the whole conversation* D perhaps got the crunchy part
Fuzzy- You guys are monsters. Maybe the poor cockroach was just making it's way home from work tired and weary to a family waiting for its return saying "Honey..I'm hoommm..."snap!Now the poor wife must be fighting back tears this minute and singing "I will survive..." they don't even have Gucci bags and Fendi shoes in cockroach land to comfort her. *Loud sniff*

PC Man- No no,no...
Fuzz- Maybe it was a young cockroach going to meet its fiancee with good news " Sweetheart, my parents agreeee....squish and smack!One moment of effusive happiness and the next moment the parents attending the shoksabha and printing obituary columns.. really sad *sniff sniff*
PC Man- Stop it now
Fuzz- Maybe it was a mommy cockroach going to pick up its younger one from daycare. Think of it there's a tiny little baby cockroach alone waiting for mommy to come *makes crying noises* "Mommy..where are you"
PC Man- I think I get the point Fuzz...

Fuzz- Maybe it was a baby cockroach who had just lost his way from school....it was walking trying to figure a way out and just when a good Samaritan was about to cross the road and help the little guy.....
PC Man- *Interrupting urgently* OK,that's it now,I'm already feeling guilty, Happy?
Fuzz- *Grinning on the other end and congratulates herself for mission accomplished but continuing to sound morose* I hope at least you and D pray for that poor little soul..may it R.I.P. May it have a better life in heaven.
PC Man- You want us to erect a memorial too I presume?
Fuzz- "Nah, prayers should do just fine"
PC Man- I knew somehow telling you this would be a bad idea from the start...

Raysh-Et tu?I do agree free food is always worth things but hey roach infested ones?I draw my lines there:) And yes as far as the long distance thing goes its true:(He is in Toronto and I'm still trying to fend for myself in cold frigid Saskatoon. But he is planning to join me soon. You are all ready to set London on fire girl?:)I'm so glad I have someone to crib about winter this time:)
Suma-Exactly!I still shudder thinking about it. Me and mean? *makes puppy eyes* what's that?:)
