When life gives you melons, make an analogy.


The thing about cantaloupe is every once in a while you get one that is absolutely exquisite. No amount of thumping, thumb-pushing, or sniffing can predict when this will happen. You just open it up and it astounds you with its preposterous and unanticipated deliciousness. Some days are like that and in this way cantaloupes are sort of like life. However, in my experience no cantaloupe is so awful you can't imagine how you will get through the whole thing and you certainly don't look forward to ever starting another. In this way, cantaloupes are not like life at all.

Truthfully, I'm fairly certain I've never eaten a cantaloupe. The melons sold in the US by that name are actually muskmelons. And plenty delicious at that. Talk about yer analogies!
