Speechless, Part Three

Good God.  For those of you who, unlike me, don't follow the daily fluctuations of the dollar-yen exchange rate, the dollar price of this watermelon is about $6400.  That's not a typo–that's really six thousand four hundred dollars.  For a watermelon.

Incidentally, just after typing the period for that last sentence, one of these came by and I had to run outside just to get a glimpse of it and take in the full decibel onslaught.   So where was I?  Oh yes:

For a fucking watermelon!  Notice that the price of a 'regular' one will be between $200 and $300 in grocery stores.  No level of sweetness is worth that price.  And people think that Americans have too much disposable income.

speaking of unparalleled sweetness, I managed to get ahold of some cheerwine today.
