That’s a pretty clean cut there, Sven.

Stupid

Tastes maplely.

East fast, Sven. That tree is gonna kill you in just a minute.

I never did “get” watermelon. It’s called a melon, but it’s a different genus than all the other things called melons (canteloupe, crenshaw, honeydew).

What makes it even worse is that cucumber is a proper melon.

Wooden that be nice?

Well, that’s how it is where Latka Gravas lives. What was the name of Latka’s homeland? The place that he and Simka came from?

A water melon tree! How quaint! One wedge or two?

He’s a lumberjack and he’s okay, he sleeps all night and he works all day!

Timeless classic.

Fortunately the saw is placed just so to maintain the balance of the tree. It’s the mark of a true ’melonjack.

So the seeds come from the middle of the tree and not leaves or exterior fruits? Also – I’m surprised the mass of the trunk itself is enough to hold the tree up!!!!

Makes me wonder what methods 1 through 7 are.

Hmmm, what different looking houses we would have if this were true.

Who was the first person to bite into a tree?

Where are Sven’s knees?
