Coffee made from beans plucked from elephant dung sells for $50 a cup at the Anantara Hotel in Golden Triangle, Thailand! The Wood frog of North America, can survive even if it's blood and tissues are frozen! Ed Grigor, from Endicott, NY, was recently sent a gold watch engraved with his name, that he had lost 53 years ago after it was found over 2000 miles away in Las Vegas!

I try to avoid consuming used food. A friend tells me that the frozen frogs are used in Quebec as ‘French ice cubes.’

Where I used to work, you could get coffee out of the vending machines that tasted like elephant dung for only a quarter.

If the coffee tastes like mud that’s because it was only ground this morning.

The lack of an appropriate comma in the sentence about Ed Grigor’s watch makes it read that he lost it after it had been found.
