really?

Some dud dropped over $6,000 for a watermelom in Japan. 6 grand!
He knows it goes bad after a while right?
It reminds me of the old old old school Simpsons episode when Lisa befriends Bleeding Gums Murphy and he tells her about how he was successful and then blew all his money on his faberge egg addiction.
I hope that watermelon is the greatest thing he has ever tasted.

It reminds me of the time that Homer was asked where he was coming from after crashing his car:
Brain: "Don't say you were at the bar. Don't say you were at the bar..."
Homer: "I was at a pornogrophy store. I was buying pornogrophy."

Ahhh,The good old days before every episode needed a lame guest star (NSync?).
This vanity fair article is a must read if you like the simpsons:

he actually says,

"moe's is a pornography store. i was buying pornography."

at which point his brain says,

"that's a good one. i'd have never thought of that."

truth.
