The premise

Here’s the bit.

While his wife slips away to find the wheat bread, her husband leans over the checkout and pleads with the cashier to save him: his wife is a witch, and he has spent the last five years as a pet rabbit in a laundry-room cage, released only to carry home the carrots. The skeptical cashier keeps getting interrupted as the wife returns, and he insists she phone his cousin with a code word. When the cashier finally asks the wife outright, she sighs, chants a rhyming spell, and he is certain he has been transformed again, until a look in a mirror proves he is still a man and he realizes just how gullible he has been. His wife can barely stop laughing as they leave.

Say it with us

Highly quotable.

I can't. I've been a rabbit for five years.

No, lady, this isn't Bewitched. This is my life.

Damn, I'm a rabbit again.

The rabbit hole continues

One more couldn’t hurt.
