Lowly, bloody convicts.
Oh wait...

Police are investigating reports that a man, driving a silver Holden Commodore utility, stopped at the scene and stole a produce.

At least he didn't steal a shrubbery.

Is "overturned product truck" like "magician produce rabbit"?

Lettuce not think that this man represents humanity at large.

2xhelix:

As long as it's nice, and not too expensive it should be OK.

Is the answer b) ?

You're saying you'd have the grapes to pass up such a plum opportunity?

What's the singular of produce?

I would have loaded up in order to avoid such unpleasantness.

This surprises me why? People are vultures. They see something lying around, they assume it's up for grabs.

Driving back to Atlanta from Savannah, GA one time we came across a produce truck on the side of the road, on its side and its contents spilled on the side of the road. Cars were lined up just grabbing fruit and driving off. This was just a few months ago.

Same sort of thing happens when someone gets evicted from an apartment around here. All their stuff gets thrown on to the corner of the street and people sift through it looking for free shiat. It's rather disgusting to see.

it's 'c'. always.

1) help the driver
2) "hey, can I grab a crate of that? they're just going to have to throw it away anyway."
3) call the police

So, B, C, A.

In the absence of consequences, primal gathering instincts override empathy and compassion.

Let he who would not take free food cast the first tomato.

It's not like letting the produce go to waste was going to bring the driver back from death. I just hope there wasn't brain matter on the arugula. That truly would be sick.

The singular of produce is product.

Probably not.

He's become a sage for our times.

Yes, what's known as the "Lord of the Flies" theory of human behavior.

Happens all the time.

>> Do you a) call the police, b) render assistance, or c) hey, free produce

If it's produce from a big corporate grower like Dole you steal every bit you can lay your hands on.

Then you torch the truck if it's not already totaled.

I know! This is going to be the biggest deal in this thread. "A produce" HAHAHA What a farking moran! Asshat! Stupid journalist!!

Not that I care, just sayin'

Back when we were growing up, a fairly large train carrying consumer goods derailed just a few miles from our house. You would nave been amazed at how many fine upstanding community citizens "helped themselves" to the spilled goods, which ranged from TV's to appliances to whiskey (from Jack Daniels' distillery, no less).

The police were basically powerless to stop this since the derailment was over a mile in length and in a very rural section of TN, despite the screams of outrage from the railroad company.

We didn't go over there, but we did walk the tracks occasionally picking up spilled coal for my dad's workshop cast iron stove. It never failed that within a few minutes a railroad official would show up and tell us we couldn't be on their R/W and asked us to leave.

Hey, that sounds good. Waiter, one produce, please.

Well...if its just going to get thrown away...

I can't stand people who take leeks on the road. Throw the book at him!

It's wrong to steal.

Glad to see my home town in the news....

As someone who regularly loots from overturned vehicles, i'm getting a kick out of there replies, etc, etc....

I can has a produce?

Let's Gopher Broke!!! (new window)

Nobody has posted the Simpsons sugar truck incident yet? For shame!!

gadian: Well...if its just going to get thrown away...

And the driver was dead, so it's not like rendering assistance would have brought him back to life...

Back in PA where I grew up the police would be filling up right next to you.

timetokill: Nobody has posted the Simpsons sugar truck incident yet? For shame!!

To the BEEmobile!

You mean your Chevy?

Yes.

So your cops were honest.

I once lived in a town where a good chunk of the police dept got busted for running a burglary ring.

I don't want to get beet up for any misdoings or shenanigans!

Ah, but this is Australia; your arugula is rocket.

This thread is peppered with corny puns.

Or do what Homer would have done: give the truck driver a quarter so he can call for help, collect all the produce in your trunk, and sell it door-to-door for the low, low price of a dollar a pound.

Just RTFA, poor truck driver :(

I encourage something else. We must be vigilant and watchful. We must be on gourd.

"If only the sugar were as sweet as you, sir..."

What kind of meat is produce?

I carrot even begin to imagine Fark without the occasional pun thread.

MasterShakezula: "If only the sugar were as sweet as you, sir..."

Shards of broken glass and blasting caps are prizes!

All three. Produce is going to go bad if it's not consumed soon.

I expected more Aussie insults: someone make with the roo-barbs.

Me either. I pay $5 of my parsley celery because I look forward to the pun threads so much.

Something like that happened once here with a truck load of beer.

People actually waited for hours until a representative of the beer company came in and saw the situation. Once he declared that the beer was "useless to sell", people pounced on the truck like hyenas. Drunken hyenas.
