A live frog was discovered in a lettuce bag purchased from a grocery store in Australia.

Farmer Rhys Smoker found the frog hopping inside an unopened lettuce bag bought from Woolworths in Esperance, Australia, on Saturday, May 16, while preparing a steak and salad dinner for his housemates, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) and Associated Press reported.

That’s what we call a volunteer.

You have a kind heart.

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!

[dfwgator]

I guess I never saw the live one.

[Vaduz]

That fits with candy cigarettes and near beer results.

[rlmorel]

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.

"And stay out of the Woolsworth!"

"I don't know, Everett. Was it the one branch or all of them?"

That’s a neat resource; I’d never encountered it.

[higgmeister]

I just saw it by chance too.

Like most people I suppose

Some folks just love to complain.

What’s green and smells like Miss Piggy?

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?

From Copilot:

'Toads in French Heraldry In French heraldry, toads appear in a few historical coats of arms, most notably in the legendary arms of Clovis, king of the Franks, before his conversion to Christianity. According to medieval tradition, Clovis’s original arms featured three toads. After his baptism, he replaced them with three fleurs-de-lis, which later became the national emblem of France'

Ah, thank you.
