Blue, old buddy, old pal, see what you have instigated? A bunch of melon heads, including myself, running amok through the melon fields and attempting to squash you!

Don't Melons float? Couldn't he just row over "towing" them behind or pushing in front? HJS (_8o(])

Stewey, stewed melon,stewed pumpkin. It's becoming a right old pickle innit?

Eating, sh1tting, floating, throwing, streaking, defying the laws of gravity.....whoever thought taking the melons to market would be so much trouble.

Perhaps he shoud've sold them on Ebay
