Reminds me of one of my many trips to LA as in Los Angeles not Lowere 
Alabama. I was recommended a Japanese Sushi Bar in Culver City. When I 
got there it was like I had been told in a rough part of town, but it 
was for sushi, so I thought. I settle in right at the bar, got my sake 
and Miso soup. Then came the start of the sushi. While I'm eating, I see 
a very large roach crawl out from under the Tuna inside the refrigerated 
cabinet. This happened while I was eating tuna, which went flying across 
the bar to the Sushi Chef, from my hand and mouth. I jumped up pointing 
at the roach which was crawling along on top of all the fish, followed 
by a couple of others. A lot of Japanese yelling went on and I just 
bolted out the door to me car with the urge to return what I had already 
had consumed.
