The World's Not Fair
The man in the black suit looks none too pleased that you've eaten his gun. He shouts, "you're nothing but a disgusting, hideous parasite! Eat me! Eat me!"

It's a shame that you can only speak cockroach, because if ever there was a time for a "your mom" joke, it's now. Since you can't give a pithy, witty reply, you decide to interpret his insult literally. You grab the man with your mouth-feelers and cram him down your throat.
The way the guy wriggles down your gullet is pretty disgusting, but at least he's gone. At least, you think he's gone, but then you hear a mechanical whine as his futuristic weapon powers up. Wow, he actually meant for you to eat him? Thank goodness he didn't say 'up yours.'
That night you ate all those hot wings, you thought you knew what it felt like to have a plasma rifle go off in your gut, but in actuality, it's a lot more messy.

You click the cockroach equivalent of "up yours," turn around, and skitter away. But you can't stop thinking about what the man said. Maybe you are a disgusting, hideous parasite. Maybe you were never meant to exist. Maybe, just maybe, you belong dead.
You pass a roadside sign that says "what are you waiting for?" You take the sign at its word and ignore the rest of the ad, which is about some kind of "male enhancement drug," whatever that is.
It doesn't take you more than a few minutes to regurgitate the gun you ate, and only a second after that to end your suffering. The only side effect is the outrage of numerous parental watchdog groups that don't think this is the kind of message we should be giving our children.
Uh, remember, kids, suicide is very, very bad for you. If someone offers you suicide, you just say 'no.' Now you know, and knowledge is power!

You don't have to take that kind of insult from any man in black. You walk the line to his car, heave it high over your head, and prepare to send the man in black down into a burning ring of fire.
Unfortunately, you slip on a freshly-discarded banana peel, lose your grip on the car, and end up tossing it straight up.
If only you had a tiny little umbrella to hold over your head, you'd reach some kind of comedy nirvana. Instead, there's nothing but a grotesque crunching noise and a very unfortunate mess.
Occurs upon selecting "Go for a walk" during A Meta-Metamorphosis.
