A huge honeydew melon exploded on the dining room table last night.
This was one of the largest melons I've ever bought. I only got it a couple days ago so I was a little shocked. My wife and kids were eating icecream and I went to pick up the melon to move it and BOOM! It blew a hole out one side and spewed seeds and liquid all over the table - flooded it and dripped onto the floor. It was not a pleasant cleanup. I've had them melt down before, but I've never had one explode before!

7. I was too busy mopping up melon goop to grab the camera with my sticky hands.
Sorry.

12. You'll have to ask the compost bin about that.
It had an express ticket.
