I could not resist…
EIGHTEEN illegal immigrants attempted to smuggle themselves into the UK hidden in a lorry-load of lettuce heading for Merseyside.
UK Border Agency officers stopped the Spanish-registered lorry in the French port of Calais at 5.50am last Sunday.
A search revealed the eighteen men – fifteen Iraqis, two Afghanis and one Iranian – hidden in the load of lettuces.
As if the mixed-green fad weren’t distasteful enough; the truck carried a load of mixed groins.
Waiter!
There’s a slug in my salad!
Shhh Sir!
Or everybody will want one!
Besides he’s tired but will be serving you coffee and biscuits later…
For some reason, a certain Paul McCartney song popped into my head. 😉
There was a big turnup of illegal immigrants but they would not lettuce in because there wasn’t mushroom.
Hello, Officer. Did somebody leek our plans? Do not be angry. Lettuce be friends. We only want peas. We hear that one can earn a good celery in England. Please do not squash our hopes.
If migrants spring from lettuce does that mean the Cabbage patch kids are real?
