"Mark Twain was addicted to practical jokes—especially when they were jokes he
played on other people. One day, when he was looking out the window of an editor’s
office on the third floor of a building, he noticed a friend of his standing immediately
below. Unfortunately for his friend, Mr. Twain had just been made the recipient of
the gift of a watermelon by the editor. You can guess what happened to the friend and
the watermelon. Still, Mr. Twain reflected, the friend came out ahead because the
practical joke spoiled the watermelon, making it unsuitable for eating." (David Bruce)
