Dang! That watermelon is tough!

I was selling these flowers in this huge park in Philadelphia today, which is funny for two reasons 1) I hate talking to people 2) I don't know anything about flowers.

Lady: Excuse me miss, what kind of flowers are these?
Me: ummm... red ones
Lady: Well do you know if they should be in the shade or get direct sunlight?
Me: umm...i don't think they'll get sunburnt if that's what you're askin.

So after a few of these lovely interactions, my flower shop partner told me to take a break because I was scaring off the customers. While I was walking around I heard some loud shouting so I turned around to see what was happening. Turns out this girl was giving out sample watermelon bubble gum. She gave some gum to a homeless dude and the homeless guy was pretty upset about the flavor of gum. He slammed down the handful of gum and shrieked "this isn't what I wanted!!" That was just the beginning of their shouting match that continued on for quite a bit. The funniest part was that there was a guy dressed up as a huge watermelon standing behind the shouting girl bobbing up and down. That watermelon really got her back! Maybe I should hire a watermelon to follow me around in order to emphasize my points. Anyway, the scene gathered quite a few people until it ended by the watermelon telling the bum to go drink another beer. The crowd dispersed and went on their merry way and I ran back to my flower stand to tell my flowerstand mates.
