We need to ban Watermelons! They incite violence.

...she later returned home to find the watermelon on the counter with a butcher’s knife in it. She reported that Cervellino then entered the room and began carving the watermelon. She called the incident passive-aggressive and menacing.

So why wasn't the woman cited for harassment and put in a 72 hour psych hold for paranoid fantasies and delusions of persecution and given a drug abuse screening?

Serious question.

Oh I'm sorry, I forgot - the essence of legitimacy is the female genitals.

A woman was tailgating me, in a 45mph zone. In a passive aggressive manner, I took my foot off the gas pedal, and dropped my speed to 35mph. Good thing I no longer live in Connecticut !

I never understood what “passive aggressive” means. Sounds like a catch-all phrase to me.

“I never understood what “passive aggressive” means. Sounds like a catch-all phrase to me.”

No, passive-aggressive does exist. ;-)

Example: My wife gets right in my face and screams at me! I do not respond or whisper a response. That drives her bonkers. ;-)

They’ve issued an arrest warrant for Gallagher as well.

Finally we have a solution to out of control Amish violnce. Make them pass a background check before buying a watermelon. Do we need to limit how many they can buy in a month or in any single purchase?

Arrested for passive-aggressive watermelon carving? You’re kidding me, right? Hell, the passive-aggressive watermelon carving contest is the main event at most watermelon festivals in the south. That and the beer guzzling and crawdad eating contest.

No kidding. Does anyone have a pic of Gallagher smashing a watermelon with a large mallet?

You can’t stab a watermelon in a passive-aggressive manner.

(Holding knife in a non-threatening manner) “Come on, watermelon, you know you want to sit on my knife, just roll on over here, it won’t hurt a bit”

“Hey honey, it would sure be nice if someone could pick up this watermelon and drop it on my knife here”

“Honey, I think the watermelon is trying something sneaky. Don’t you think we should do something with this knife I’m holding here”
