Chinese Food

          This story took place at a little chinese restraint by my house a few years ago. Dave and I had gone inside to get ourselves some lunch. I had my usual chicken lo mein and he had chicken and broccoli. After we finished we walked up to the front to pay for our food. The cashier gave us the price and we each took out our wallets. As we looked through our cash we heard a sound that caught our attention. It was the sound of someone hacking something up in their throat. We looked up to see the cook spit directly into a pot of something cooking on the stove. Ignoring what we saw, Dave and I paid for our meal and walked out the door.
          As we got into the car Dave said "That was disgusting, I've never scene anything like that before in my life". We than started questioning each other about how our food tasted. We wondered if the guy had spit into our food as well. We got out of the parking lot and started making our way towards home. As we talked I made the mistake of saying "It's no wonder my parents never take us there to eat". Dave hit the brakes and pulled over to the side of the road. I looked around and asked "What's wrong?". "Get out of the car Chris" Dave said. "Why? What did I do?" I asked. "Why would you take us to a place you knew your parents don't like?" he asked. "To try something new" I said.
          A smile came over my face when the realization of what he was asking hit me. "Wait a sec" I said "Are you suggesting that I took us there because I knew the guy would spit in our food". I started laughing at the idea. "No" he said "What I'm asking is why you would take us to a place that you knew may have something wrong with it." "Well" I said through laughter "How the hell was supposed to know that they were spitting in food". "Stop laughing and get out of my car" Dave said half jokingly. "No seriously" I said "I had no idea they were doing that. Believe me if I did I wouldn't have taken us there". Dave eventually became convinced and we drove home, but he was completely grossed out about the idea he could have eaten someone else's spit.
