Why celery?
It was a question people had asked him since the beginning of this regeneration. And those who hadn't had definitely thought it. Contrary to popular belief he always answered their question, though never the same answer twice:
"Celery detects poisonous gasses."
Or "that's not celery. It's a rare Gallifreyan flower."
And his personal favourite, "what celery?"
What he didn't tell everyone was the fact that an enemy would pause when they saw the Terran produce. Just for a second, to ponder why he wore it. And that was long enough for him to distract them and get away.
