Kicker: Celery spill

NICK EICHER, HOST: The Ontario Provincial Police posted a video to social media this week with a warning, telling motorists in the Greater Toronto Area of an accident on the roadway.

OPP: Aurora OPP members are currently on the scene of a tractor trailer rollover.

That tractor trailer emptied its contents across three lanes of Highway 400, turning it into a giant hors d'oeuvre tray:

OPP: As you can see celery has been sprayed all over the highway. Clean up crews are working to ensure the safety of motorists.

No greater threat to the roadway safety than crunchy celery, I guess. No one was injured, but the cleanup was a big job. It took nearly five hours to get it done.

I have to wonder about the hourly rate for the work. And you knew it was coming to this, but I think the workers are going to demand a higher celery now.

MYRNA BROWN, HOST: Maybe ranch dressing will keep them happy.

EICHER: It’s The World and Everything in It.
