"Hey, Waiter!  There's a shark doing the backstroke in my soup du jour!"

"I wouldn't worry too much about it sir!  He won't eat much of it for sure!"

Hi Robert, My husband and I were invited to a wedding - found a hair in my soup and I put all the other guests sitting at the table, off their soup! Quite an embarrassing situation! Warmest wishes for Christmas to you and yours - Jennifer.

sorta like the old "Hey, waiter, there's a fly in my soup."....."Well keep it quiet or everybody's gonna want one".
