Starting with the least experienced,
A bug lands in your coffee you:
1: throw it out and wash the cup getting a fresh cup of coffee.
2: just dump the coffee, new coffee.
3: pick the bug out, keep drinking.
4: did I just swallow a bug? Tell your friends, "I may have just swallowed a bug."
5: Bottoms up! Your host may have meant it to have bugs, "Best coffee I've ever had"
I guess I am still on level 4 because, well, I wrote this blog. In reality none of us have "arrived" we are all still works in progress.
So how about you what level are you on?
