My sister and I were having lunch at Quizno’s a few years ago.
Out of her individual salad hopped a live cricket.
We captured him and the staff took him outside to run free.

It wasn’t a “bogus script”, it was taken from a live performance...it is just a different one from the televised version...as happens!

I saw a video of the Hollywood Bowl version, and the script appeared to be a mashup of that version and some other live version, hence the cusswords...:)

But I have to fully agree-the TV version with John Cleese as video is the best one!

No fair!   This guy still has a Woolworths to shop at.

Australia most likely has the British principle of law that THE LOSER PAYS.

If America had that, we wouldn’t be so litigious either!............

Did she eat the salad, or was she given a new one?
