“I can see how you're really bugged about the whole situation,” another said.

Somebody else claimed: “I’d be concerned as to where the other half of the roach is.”

One offered an unusual proposition for the customer.

“I can give you roaches for free if you want, no need to buy expensive bacon,” the person joked.
