So, do you obtain the same effect when the melon is spiked with vodka or is it counter-productive?

The farmer''s daughter down the road was sitting on her porch in her "Daisy Dukes" and tube top eating a watermelon. The juice was dripping down into her cleavage. It did have an unusual effect on me!

This is an awful joke, courtesy health writer Kathleen Doheny.

It is also a complete misallocation of space avaiable for worthier stories.

Perhaps Doheny thought it might pump up her futures in the watermelon market.

I begin to understand the reference to a pregnant woman that goes "She swallowed a watermelon seed.".

To those who complain about stories like this...

Gee... I think there are many serious stories on the news site... and yet... you decided to click on this story...

I think you feel embarrassed for enjoying a nice little story that actually is actually news worthy as it describes some of the active ingredients in a very commonly eaten fruit/vegetable.

Lighten up!!! It is okay to read stories like this in addition to the other more serious stories (that is... if you really are interested in those stories...) Did you actually click on any of the links for the stories you say should be represented???

You really make yourself appear pretty stupid when you make comments like that... After all... if it did not interest you ... why did you click on it and read it???

I ate 4 slices of watermelon last night and I''ve had a boner since then. Forget calling the doctors after a 4 hour boner, bring on the ho''s.

. Has the news world really gotten so desperate for something to say that they will seize on this story? I could point out world shaking events all day long that beat this.

"Next thing you know, men will be brawling at the supermarket over some nice, big melons"

Actually I think we will brawl anywhere over melons.
The questions that come to mind are:
1. If we eat the seeds will we be more fertile also?
2. Why not just eat the rind and throw away the rest?
3. Are athletes now going to be stuffing melon before the big event? Oh I guess that applies to everyone else''s more important big event also.
4. Has the news world really gotten so desperate for something to say that they will seize on this story? I could point out world shaking events all day long that beat this.

True story..at least it was in the news (not FOX) a long time ago.

This guy got arrested, butt naked in this watermelon patch. According to police he was exactly having *** with a watermelon.

So, the burning question: How much watermelon does it take?
"That is a good question," Patil says. Unfortunately, "I don''t have an answer for that."

Eat the whole danm melon if you have to. Eat until your belly bulges, and your member rises!!!
