The flat bottom represents the photographer's portion.Last night I heard something on the news that really shocked me. It was a report on of all things, watermelon. I know well of watermelon and the news that I heard was both alarming and shocking. It reported that the effects of eating watermelon are the same direct effect of Viagra! I thought at first they were joking, yet no one was laughing. I pretty much forgot about it and today I started my day in the usual way. Awakened, listened to the news and got showered, dressed and went to Costco. I needed to return a bathing suite that I bought for the "Dating Guy" and underestimated the magnitude of DG's waist, pretty much by 2 inches. When the Dating Guy tried on his new dating bathing suite, he resembled a mushroom at the waist. Not a good look for DG.
As usual, Costco accepted back my bathing suite with a smile and a credit and I entered the regular store to see what was new. A mean old friend of mine had mentioned she was out of chlorine and I thought the Dating Guy might do her a good deed, but to no avail, as she had already purchased some at her Alma Mata, Fry's. So I wandered around a little bit, although I really didn't need anything. I did buy some sliced roast beef and of course the razor fiasco and as I was getting ready to leave, I noticed that there were a lot of men my age walking around with watermelons in their carts. How odd? I'd never even seen watermelon at Costco in the past, yet everyone had one. Then, as if a light bulb lit over my head, I recalled last night's news report and you don't suppose these guys just suddenly fell in love with watermelons, do you? I went back to the produce section and sure enough, men were grabbing watermelons like they were a new sport. I didn't want to feel left out, so I grabbed a nice juicy seedless one too. It wasn't until I got home that I thought to look for the warning label on it about the 4 hour problem. Don't worry, it didn't have one.... One thing I learned about watermelon that I never thought of in the past. You should NEVER eat it at home ALONE! It's really kind of nice though, you have a place to hang your napkin!!!
