Ants are salty little fellows

So last night after I returned from my outing around 3am I decided to get on the Internet for a little while before I went to bed. First thing I did was get two eggrolls on a plate and a cold soda to snack on while I browsed (I didn’t eat dinner earlier so I was starved).

Lately while the weather has been warming up I’ve been noticing these large ants that don’t seem to be interested in anything but trying to find crumbs getting into the house. They are in fact one of the reasons why I was out so late, I had to get to Wal-Mart to get some bug spray. Other than the fact that they are nasty little insects crawling in my house they don’t seem to be doing any harm, no one has been bit and there are no huge ant nest anywhere.

Well just as I was I finished the first greasy eggroll, I was instantly thirty and reached for my soda. Just as I took a huge sip I could feel something swimming in my mouth and could taste something extremely salty. Needless to say, my monitor was bathed in soda as I forcefully spewed it from my mouth. After a few swipes of my tongue I found the offending critter. A big nasty ant that was obviously injured from it’s not very well thought out plan to scout out my can of soda.

I inspected the little thing for any lost body parts and found out it was missing a leg. Double gag. So I quickly ran into the bathroom and started searching my mouth for the leg. I couldn’t find it. I am at this point so grossed out I can’t function. I used everything, a toothbrush, floss, tongue scraper to find the leg. I failed. So I commenced on sterilizing my mouth in hopes it would help me forget the awfulness of it all.

It hasn’t worked, here it is the next afternoon and I am still convinced when I swallow I can feel something stuck. I know it’s totally psychological because of my extreme disdain for anything with more than 4 legs.

Just so you know, I smashed the ant as soon as I was done inspecting it and ants are really salty. And I will never leave an opened can of soda even slightly out of my sight again.
