I was almost KILLED by a real cockroach today. This morning while walking in my slippers into the kitchen I accidentally stepped on a cockroach which instantly mushed up and its slippery guts made my foot fly up into the air. I would have had a hard landing as a result but at the last instant I was able to grab the wall of the entryway which kept me upright.
Right away I thought about how embarrassing it would have been if I had cracked my skull on the floor and cause of death listed as "cockroach."
Dayum, glad you're OK :-)
Question though: What are cockroaches doing in the home of a world famous journalist?
