In between school and home, he usually picks us up some lunch at the only fast food restaurant I will eat at.  I will not name it because I am still loyal to them, but it rhymes with schmickschmonalds.  <\/p>\n<p>Well, today, as I&#8217;m enjoying my golden, delicious fries for which schmickschmonalds is so famous, I find&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>wait for it&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>a crispy fried wing.  Not from a chicken.  From a common house fly.<\/p>\n<p>Very few things will gross me out to the point that I&#8217;m no longer able to eat.  Once, when I was eating a piece of cherry pie my grandmother had made, I found a whole housefly baked into it.  My grandma just wicked him away with her pinky finger and said &#8220;Eh, he didn&#8217;t eat much,&#8221; and I finished eating.  Because I was raised by people who honestly believed the presence of bugs in your food was a funny, unexpected bonus.  I think that&#8217;s because they grew up in the depression or whatever and they probably were used to eating bugs.<\/p>\n<p>However, having worked at a schmickschmonalds, I know what happens when a bug falls into the deep fryer.  KA-BLAMO!  They explode, spewing their soon to be crunchy, golden guts all over the place.  ALL OVER MY FRIES.<\/p>\n<p>I just couldn&#8217;t finish.  A whole fly, I can do.
