… Chicken Dinner A Crisp Lettuce.
Yep. A lettuce. A whole crisp lettuce. He must be feeling on top of the world. And he absolutely deserves to be, given that he correctly answered – I take exception to their rather discourteous use of the word “guessed” – their very tough riddle, set just a few days previously:
Thank heavens for that clue “it’s food-related”. Indeed, that was probably what tipped a lot of people off as to the correct response. Not many people know what a vegetable is. But what they do know is that it’s food-related. And so once bleach (not food-related) and pilchards (not a vegetable) were ruled out, lettuce was the obvious go-to answer.
Jeez. Times are tough and standards are low. So very low.
Still, I’m eagerly awaiting the next brain teaser – with an appropriately fantastic prize – from Pick n Pay Wellington, but in the meantime, I have just received a phone call informing me that I’ve won a cucumber (“I’m long and green, you eat me as part of a salad. Clue: it’s food-related.”) from the Spar in Robertson.
I can hardly wait to go and pick it up.
