Watermelons

I used to like watermelon.  I'd even eat some of the white stuff in the rind!  Today I think they've even developed a seedless variety.

Did you know that originally all watermelons were round?  They only developed the oblong variety in the 20th century, because it was truck-friendly.  

There used to be a prop comedian called Gallagher who was always doing odd stuff with watermelons.

The radio personality Captain Midnight made a list of the worst song titles ever, and one of them was a coon song from minstrel shows a century ago: "Plant a Watermelon on My Grave and Let the Juice Seep Through." (Other coon songs are "Got a White Man Working for Me" and "If the Man in the Moon Was a Coon.") But the Captain missed the worst song title ever: "Daddy Swiped Our Last Clean Sheet and Joined the Ku Klux Klan"!
