Police officers in the UAE called in a Muslim cleric to tackle a mysterious case of a 'cursed' melon that washed up on the beach.

The fruit, which had been impaled with pins and nails and had inscriptions carved over it, scared locals when it was spotted on the Al Khan beach in the city of Sharjah, in the United Arab Emirates.

Local police officers decided to call in a Muslim cleric to cleanse the supposedly voodooed melon.

Saw this in the comments section:
“DEFINITELY a Voodoo Mellon - I had to deal with one in the jungle fighting the Mau Mau - good grief !!!.. It was SHEER HELL. Imagine one of those things turning up in Blighty in a container ship, or fired by torpedo from an enemy sub? There is NO WAY to STOP them, The public must be evacuated from the UK. There was only EVER one man who could defuse these Terrible THINGS and he was lost in a shocking incident working on a Gris-Gris Cucumber.- ACT NOW, it may be too late. We must ALL move to the European Mainland immediately. If we beg forgiveness, the Europeans will perhaps let us live in temporary camps and in slum areas FAR from beaches, where we MIGHT survive.”

Maybe this could be a new secret weapon. Much cheaper than JDAMs.

“The melon washed up on Al Khan beach in the city of Sharjah in the UAE

It had been impaled with pins and nails and had inscriptions over the peel.

Police officers decided to call in the cleric to cleanse the voodooed melon.

He worked on deciphering the symbols before destroying it with a knife.”

Am I the only FR who thought (see above) was fartblastin’ FUNNY?

‘cleanse the voodooed melon’ works on so many levels, doesn’t it?

“It had been impaled with pins and nails and had inscriptions over the peel.”

*Al Khan beach in the city of Sharjah in the UAE*
The word ‘Sharjah’ isn’t scary enough for me, so I want to go and visit AL KHAN BEACH!

It probably had “Stronger together” carved in it
and they just couldn’t read cursive.

It was Hillary’s missing “Voodoo Melon” of Donald Trump. That would explain the pins in it.

She must have dropped it in the ocean when she was saving all those kids in Haiti, during a hurricane and snowstorm.

Or it could have been one of Bill’s balls that fell out of her lockbox at 20,000 feet and jumped to its death.

Is that a cup of “Morning Joe” or “Morning Mika”? Inquiring minds really don’t want to know.

Or maybe a cup of “Perky Katie Couric” with two sugars.

Definitely not a cup of Helen Thomas Lebanese cafe’ au lait.

I’m a “T” man myself. Lipton Tea, you perverts!
