There's simply nothing sadder than a grown woman eating a carrot

It was the carrot she used to kill her husband. Eating the evidence.

There's a famous short story by Roald Dahl where a woman murders her husband by bludgeoning him with a leg of lamb and then she feeds the murder weapon to the cops

Wasn't that also one of the episodes of "Tales of the Unexpected"?

I didn't know it was adapted into tv episodes but I'm not surprised

Quite frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn.
