She obviously must have interrupted it while it was helping itself to a
sip...

A western Iowa woman is recovering from the shock of finding a drowned bat in her
tea mug -- after she sipped from the cup all day.

must have been a huge mug. So, we have a new health benefit to discuss:
tea = vampire repellant.

I can understand though if she mistook it for "two teabags". I've heard of a
teabag resembling a dead mouse but this is a new one...

(poor bat!)

That would be... disturbing.

However, given that she'd been drinking from it all day, it's likely that
the drowned bat was a "late" addition to her mug. That is, it tried to get
a little tea, fell in, and then couldn't get out. At least that's how I
picture it. The WHOT "article" is short on details.

Never had a bat in my tea, but I have found a Persian drinking from my mug.

Good thing you clarified, I had visions of a Persian man with in full
historic regalia and a handlebar moustache gently sipping from your
teacup while furtively glancing around only to be caught in the act by
you.

I like my story better, so I'm rejecting your reality and substituting
my own instead.

I like your story better, too. Surreality is underrated.

No, but I found some dried ladybugs in my rooibos, though. :P
