Most days, I read my hometown newspaper to keep up on what’s happening. And this story caught my eye today, mostly because it got its own section (it’s not a “news brief”) and had two paragraphs. And, don’t fail to notice the fact that it appeared FOUR DAYS after it happened! Geez! Tuesday must’ve been a historically slow news day!
Family takes off without paying
{from Wednesday’s edition of the Baxter Bulletin}
A family ate at the Red Fern Restaurant in Mountain Home, then left without paying under the pretense they were going outside to smoke while they waited on an order of frog legs to go, according to a report at the Mountain Home Police Department.
The family, two adults and two children, had dinners and several drinks valued at a total of $95.26, the report said. The incident happened Saturday.
Frog legs to go?!? That should be the first red flag! Of course this family "hopped" away! Cold frog legs are disgusting. These must be eaten really hot (while the flavor is undetectable!).
