I Was In.....

[excelsior-1]

.....a restaurant and I asked for something herby

they gave me a Volkswagen with no driver

[frugalfred]

Thyme to give up, excel.

[Prudie]

Do a Basil on it

[frugalfred]

I went to a restaurant that serves "breakfast at any time,” so I ordered French Toast during the Renaissance.

[Arksided]

That's Banana's
