"HOW'S WATERMELON DOING?"

Recently Mamoo and I went shopping at the local Wal-Mart Store nearby. She suggested that I take my blood-pressure in the Pharmacy Department and she would meet me there as she shopped elsewhere in the store.

I had just sat down and got "hooked-up" when a very nice, much older black woman came by and said, "Sho do wish I could get my son to take his "pressure like dat". I politely asked her his age. She said he was over 60, and then burst out laughing loudly as she added, "I had him rat here on the streets of Baton Rouge, rat in front of a fruit market." Then started laughing again!

I joined her in laughing, then I asked her, "Did you name him apple or orange?" She said, "No suh, I kinda likes da name "WATERMELON".

ps: My blood pressure was 107/60 by the time I stopped laughing!
