    Or do this and save a few bucks.
    One day out of the blue, I received a text message, “Dude… I just received my 13lb block of cheese!!”

    No idea who sent it. Wasn’t even an area code I recognized. But 10 years later, my wife and I still reference it. That one text has taken top-tier residence in my brain, and the person who sent it didn’t need to go to the store to buy watermelons or go out at night making deliveries.

      Did you at least send “Nice.” back? That’s an impressive amount of cheese.

    “Oh look, somebody on drugs left a watermelon on my porch”

    People who are up at 3 am underestimate the experiential variety of people on a regular schedule.

            It would only be racist if it was a white guy leaving watermelon gifts on black porches.

            If it were a black guy leaving watermelons on black porches, Afro-American solstice fruit Santa. It would become racist again if white people tried to participate by leaving stereotypical black cultural gift offerings akin to milk and cookies for Santa.

    Wasn’t there some copypasta about someone leaving a pineapple on their bully’s step and driving them mad
