________________________________________ / The true Southern watermelon is a boon \ | apart, and not to be mentioned with | | commoner things. It is chief of the | | world's luxuries, king by the grace of | | God over all the fruits of the earth. | | When one has tasted it, he knows what | | the angels eat. It was not a Southern | | watermelon that Eve took; we know it | | because she repented. | | | | -- Mark Twain, "Pudd'nhead Wilson's | \ Calendar" / ---------------------------------------- \ . . \ / `. .'
