Them

Thais could rule the world if they could just figure out a way to harness their ant population for evil purposes.

Anything edible, set down anyplace within the house (aside from the refrigerator or a hermetically-sealed container), will be covered with ants within 20 minutes... 30 minutes if you make a conscious effort to put it someplace the ants shouldn't find it.

We're not talking about just a few ants, mind you, but hundreds of them.

Think about the time frame: Inside of 20 minutes, a single ant has to smell the target meal, zip all the way back to his buddies, explain that he's struck culinary gold, and then muster up an army of the hungry buggers, and make his way all the way back to where the food is.

Fact of the matter is that it happens so often now, that instead of being all grossed out about it, if the dish is still salvageable, I'll do the Thai thing, and just brush the ants away, and deprive them of their party, and finish it all myself.
