If you watch Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson with any regularity — and you know I certainly do — you’ve no doubt noticed…
The fruit basket
It’s Craig’s new way to bid guests good-bye. Instead of an awkward pause or a big cash prize or a harmonica duet, guests are sent on their way with the exotic fruit of their choice.
After Craig makes an innuendo or two.
Well, today I discovered a new fruit that absolutely needs to be added to that basket. Heck, you could fill the whole thing with ‘em — they are that perfect for Craig’s sense of humor.
It grows in Southeast Asia, looks like a cousin of the Audrey II in Little Shop of Horrors, and is reportedly sweet and sour and slightly grape-like and gummy to the taste.
But I’m pretty sure Craig would just be excited that they look like little hair balls.
Creepy alien-looking hairy balls.
