    I would like to see you gnaw a 3 inch hole in a melon while it's on the ground with your kilt on.But then again...NO.I just gave myself a regrettable mental image. EEEEWWWW!

    I dont think that's what he's talking about Julie.
    He says there is a 3 inch hole in the Melons skin.
    Gotta be rats.
