Variation on the 5 second rule

You know the rule: if something falls on the floor you have 5 seconds to pick it up and eat it before it is considered poor taste. Or white trash. Or glutonous. Or something.

Anyway, I'm on a string of night shifts. I got up this "morning" (aka 1:30 p.m.) and made some coffee. I had exactly enough half and half to make ONE. CUP. OF. COFFEE. One cup of delicious, soul-awakening coffee.

After I mixed this blessed cup of goodness I noticed something floating on the top. Hmmm....what is this? A small gnat?

*pause*

Is it wrong that I actually considered removing the bug and still drinking my coffee? It was technically within the 5 second guidelines.

    Hi, I just came across your blog and am your new follower.

    If it were me, I totally would've scooped the thing out and then drank the rest of my drink. But that's just me...

    Feel free to check out my blog--I hope it can give you a little chuckle.

    I hope you just took out the little bugger and drank that exquisite drink anyway!

    Do you know how many bugs are floating in it that you DON'T see? Besides, it's a gnat. Not a roach, a louse, or a fly. Drink up baby!

    Just adds protein to the drink.
