    OK, I’m gonna tell a little story that we used to tell in my part of the country. In my part of the country they grow a lot of watermelons.

    So there was this watermelon farmer who got upset that everybody kept sneaking into his fields at night and taking watermelons.

    So he came up with his great idea that he put a sign at the edge of the field that said one of these watermelons is poison. Now he knew that no one could take a watermelon cause they wouldn’t know which one was poisoned. He was quite proud of this idea.

    So we came back in the morning to see how his sign worked. And sure enough no watermelons have been taken overnight.

    However, he noticed the number one on his sign had been crossed out and somebody had put two.

      That is both genius and a total Bond villain origin story.
