Bugs

One of my pet hates is accidentally consuming a bug whilst riding my bicycle.

I don’t mind the protein but I prefer to presciently approve the domain prior to ingestion.

Fortunately, bugs have a high surface area-to-volume ratio and my stomach pH is around unity; meaning that I don’t get to see bugs crawling out of my arse.

As an aside, when I was about 4 years old I accidentally swallowed a marble (a little round glass ball for those ignorant of such) which I naughtily (i.e. against strict instructions) had in my mouth as my parent’s 1959 VW beetle (i.e a bug) went over a bump. Sometime later and much to my relief I found it at the bottom of the toilet bowl unscathed by the very same medium that dissolves and dissipates my wayward bugs.
