Best of Melon


Best of Melon

This is it. The pinnacle of melons. This is the ONE melon that all other melons in the world are judged against. I found this store that has top-of-the-line fruits. I'm talking pyramid shaped watermelons, an $8 apple and then this. One cantelope for the equivalent of $180. Yes, one hundred and eighty dollars. It comes with a nice yellow bow and a ring on the bottom to act as a stand. It is also certified grown from a melon club. (I didnt know melon clubs existed). I can't even imagine what it would taste like to sink your teeth into a spoonful of the "Best of Melon". Hell, i'd even eat the $180 seeds.

What I don't know is what happens if this is not sold before it rots. Then what? Do you think people buy the rotten carcass of a "Best of Melon" for around $45?

If you want me to pick up one of these for you when i come back home again, please wire your money and photocopies of two forms of ideas. Please allow 4-6 weeks for delivery.
