Hot Soup!

I had driven over to Miami to pick up a part for my central air conditioner and was forced to wait for an hour for the warehouse to locate it. It was in a rough part of town and I was suffering some hunger pains
not having stopped for breakfast before the two and a half hour drive. I located a diner down the block and ordered some soup.
It took a while before the soup came, and when it did arrive, it is too hot. While waiting for the soup to cool, I became aware of the need to use the bathroom facilities too as I hadn't stopped in the morning for that either. Now, I'm thinkin'... 'in this neighborhood, while I´m in the bathroom, somebody might just come and eat the soup.' Being a wise guy I pulled out a piece of paper and a pen and
wrote: "I spat into the soup!"
After putting the sign right next to the soup, I took advantage of the available washroom facilities. When I returned, what do I see? On my note beside the soup someone has added in pencil, "ME TOO!"
