Ha ha ha! Uh.... no. They never put a whole watermelon in the fridge before
it's sliced, and that one was fresh from the garden the morning before. It
must have been rotting (fermenting?) already, for some time, even though it
was on the vine.

I got a phone call, asking what to do about wet paper in the printer, with
no idea it was from that watermelon upstairs. When my Mom discovered the
puddle of liquid on the laundry room floor she heard the watermelon hissing
from escaping air or juice. She thought it was a little bit of ordinary
water since they never had that happen in the many years of growing
watermelons and putting the ones they pick on their laundry room floor. I
suspected heat from the garage next to it but their house is kept cool.

It was ironic. Mom had just finished putting a homemade Windows wallpaper on
her monitor which was of a watermelon we had at a gathering of friends and
family a few days before. Until she gets a replacement I gave her my unused
monitor and she changed that wallpaper picture immediately. I think she'd
hate to hear what Philippe Gibone said about Cinderella and the stuff
turning into a watermelon.  ;-)
