Fruit Invasion by Gertrude Gardener

November 28th, 2010 1:34 PM

INSTRUCTIONS: Purchase/aquire many (a pound or two) small fruits (I've found kumquats to be very appropriate) which will not easily be squished. Slip them into strangers' pockets, tie them by threads from trees, or in some other manner help fruit invade the city.

I heard from Rongo Rongo that Kate Saturday had requested watermelon scaling a building. Rongo wanted to do it, but she couldn't figure out how to manage the feat without the risk someone getting hit by a falling watermelon. Luckily for everyone, octopodes are excellent problem solvers and masters of disguise.

Obviously, the solution here was raisins. Sneaky raisins, disguised as watermelons. The classic Trojan Horse scheme, but with fruit. Because it wouldn't really be a problem if someone got hit on the head by a falling raisin.

You know, it's not so easy inflating balloons when you don't have lungs.

Scaling the walls

Unfortunately for one of the raisins, its watermelon balloon burst against the rough wall, causing it to plummet seven stories to the pavement below.

Despite this setback, the rest of the raisins continued their assault and managed to hoist themselves over the wall.

The raisins take a well earned rest after getting onto the roof.

The great thing about raisins in balloons is that they make a fearsome rattling sound in the wind.

Glad you enjoyed it! Riding herd on a group of raisins was tricky, but having eight legs does help.
