Allyson, this made me smile.
What a great way to start my day.
You have the emotional maturity of a blueberry scone.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
That's some quality slounging.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Tomorrow we are performing an experiment to see what is funnier when it hits the sidewalk from the patio: A coconut, a papaya, a kiwi, a mango, or a plantain.
We need Sam to sink the pirate ship with an aerial assault.
I say A) he can't lift a coconut (even though he has a friend helping) and B) coconuts don't grow on the Canary Islands.
I also say that papayas are inherently more funny and less cliche than coconuts.
So a couple of the engineers have agreed to help with my experiment and judge which fruit is funnier when it hits the ground.
Problem: I cannot find a coconut ANYWHERE. Everyone has the meat, but no whole coconuts.
I have everything else. I think this is an anti-coconut sign.

Did you know that bats pollinate the agave plant and eat the pests that would wipe them out?
Without bats, there'd be no tequilla.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
WTF, Elfie?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
YAY Bats!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I think only a papaya, mango or kiwi has a chance of inflicting collateral damage when used as a weapon. Coconuts need to be opened with chisels and hammers, that's not going to work unless you need to hit just one specific place. And a plantain will just bounce off unless it's so ripe it softly splats. Actually the kiwi is kinda weak too unless there's a kiwi shotgun. I'm going to guess papaya or mango. Really the mango should win. It's got the honking pit in the middle.
I swear I just overthought fruit weaponry.
And am suddenly craving a smoothie.

Three cheers for the bats!
Kiwi has comic potential just for the name.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
