I worked in several restaurants in Texas years ago, all relatively expensive. At every single one, we had to check the plates and glasses for cockroaches before serving. When they had no clean dishes or utensils, I often saw other wait staff grab dirty ones and wipe them off with whatever was handy. We would eat dinner in the back room, and we would always ask someone to watch our plates for roaches when we had to run out to help a customer.
The customers probably didn’t care. I once watched a group being seated at a table as a roach ran across it. One guy in the group smashed it with his hand and they all sat down and ordered dinner. He didn’t wash his hand. I’m not sure what happened to the corpse.
Years later, I had to return to Texas for a business meeting. The company took me out to dinner. I ordered chocolate mousse for dessert. We were all talking and laughing and I put a spoonful of mousse in my mouth and gagged — the spoon was covered with stuck-on food. The manager refused to replace my mousse or remove it from the bill, saying he couldn’t see why I couldn’t eat it with a different spoon.
I can pronounce Bucky’s title, but I have no idea what the second bit means, the first part Llan means church, but ddyfnans?? (this would sound like thuvnans hard “th” as in “that”, y is like u as in under, single f is a v, double f (ff) is an f) Welsh.

I saw something like this once, but it wasn’t in Texas. It was almost a massacre, though. Or maybe a massacree like Arlo Guthrie sang about.

Since I’m generally only scared by things that make sense, I think Satchel did a better job.

Not bad, Satch, but it doesn’t have the British tie-in. Maybe if the other food at the reunion was fish and chips …

For once, Satchel comes up with a real yuk. It’s hysterical. And historical.
