One of our customers owns some farm land. Different farmers lease the land and grow something different all the time. One family leased the land, and planted watermelons. They worked their kids to the point of rebellion picking melons. They sold them at a local farmer's market, and to small grocery stores. They finally said enough, we are done and paid the final lease payment.
Our customer went to check out the land, and it still had lots of melons. He filled up his van to the point he did not know if he could make it home OK.
He had thought ahead and brought a sledge hammer, and broke open all his arms could stand, then opened the gate to his cattle to let them feast. He said the cow's faces were red from all the melons they were feasting on. They learned to break open the ones he missed with the sledge.
He gave me 4 of them. I ate a lot of watermelon that week.
