I ordered tripe in a local Mexican restaurant. It is a common soup dish you've all heard of: menudo. It consisted of a dark brown broth and was entirely edible, but the combination of the fluid, the floaty bloaty tripes and my facility with a soup spoon led to my business shirt getting, for want of a better word, dappled. No one commented on it in tye extremely important engineering meeting I then attended, but they might have been wondering why I had a lot of graphs and notes clutched to my chest for a long while.
