Remember those freaking huge cockroaches called rice bugs in 'Nam?

Ever get hit by one hanging out the side door of a chopper?

At cruise speed?

Is that what they called a Baht Bug in Thailand? *Buddy at Korat, said
they sold for a Baht a bug to the locals*. Helped pay for the beer.


Say what?

They are a local delicacy, roasted, although a water bug, not a cockroach.

Get a life away from Harry's arse. Do a little study. Makes perfect sense
