Only impressive if it was a plastic cucumber, I think...
I've seen a few 'shops in my time and I can tell by the pixels.
Paging small briny pickle, paging small briny pickle. Takuan?

That doesn't even look like a cucumber leaf.
Get ready for the rapture, folks!
Gently but firmly grasp the tip and.... oh wait, you mean this isn't sex ed?
what an abomination. that cucumber is different from all the other normal cucumbers. i feel it should be excommunicated from the garden immediately, if not burned at the stake.
ask any vegetable.
This is why you shouldn't have sex with trees...you never know where they've been.
(Cheesey, Cheesey)
(This is a song about vegetables, they keep ya regular
They're real good for yo)
Call any vegetable Call it by name
Call one today When you get off the train
Call any vegetable And the chances are good
Aw, The vegetable will respond to you
(Some people don't go for prunes...I
don't know, I've always found that if they...)
Call any vegetable Pick up your phone
Think of a vegetable Lonely at home
Call any vegetable And the chances are good
That a vegetable will respond to you
Rutabaga, Rutabaga,
Rutabaga, Rutabaga,
Rutabay-y-y-y...
(A prune isn't really a vegetable...
CABBAGE is a vegetable...)
No one will know
If you don't want to let them know
No one will know
'Less it's you that might tell them so
Call and they'll come to you
Covered with dew
Vegetables dream, Of responding to you
Standing there shiny and proud by your side
Holding your hand while the neighbors decide
Why is a vegetable something to hide?
Cool, weird... probably fake. I don't know what a cucumber leaf looks like, so I can't tell how well it was faked if it's not genuine. However, it's not impossible. If a transcription factor in the cuke's DNA misfires at the right time and place, it could cause a leaf to grow where one normally does not.
If it's real, it's still safe to eat (the cucumber part, that is). However, if the cuke's owner feels nervous about it or exceptionally proud of it, I recommend pickling in very strong vinegar.
put a condom on that thing before it goes off and somebody loses an eye!
Clearly, a fig leaf.
