I knew you could dry lettuce by rolling it up in a tea towel and flinging it in a circle over your head, but it's best to try this outside if your lettuce is very wet.

lol! don't tell me one also squawks like a chicken while doing this? (reference Dick Van Dyke Show, Season 4, "The Impractical Joke" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0559826/ )

My, my, my. What a week.

Clint Eastwood talking to a chair, Prince Harry strutting naughty bits in Vegas, a congressman streaking in the Sea of Gallilee, clucking chickens, wilty lettuce in tea towels, to foil or not to foil the celery. I am glad I have an extra day off on Monday just to let all this soak in.
