This month’s “Quotable Watermelon” is a little violent, but it made me chuckle. I don’t recommend hitting anyone in the face with a watermelon because, well, it’s just plain mean and a waste of a good watermelon.
Of course, this quote is also misguided because onions (and watermelons to the face) are far from the only foods that can make a person cry. I’ve personally shed tears over some spicy “atomic hot wings.” I’ll never make that mistake again. On the opposite end of the heat spectrum, I’ve also teared up over some particularly painful brain freeze after gobbling an Italian ice a little too fast.
Speaking of taking a watermelon to the face …
That looked mighty painful. Who would’ve thought that the watermelon wouldn’t be launched forward out of the sling? What a shock with pain when it came back and hit her.
I know! I can’t believe she walked away from that.
