    • sanman, on 07/03/2008, -0/+3what about the ol' vodka watermelon?

    • TallestSkil, on 07/03/2008, -2/+2"In other news, nationwide watermelon shortages continue as men everywhere have shown their recent appreciation for the fruit. Indeed, Congress has just made the watermelon the national symbol of readiness."
    • ChronicColonic, on 07/03/2008, -0/+1Yeah, and if you cut the watermelon right, it'll give you a place to relieve your Viagra-like symptoms. You would give new meaning to the term 'melon baller'.
  • amboy00, on 07/02/2008, -1/+44I'm spitting seeds now!
  • guillebravo6, on 07/02/2008, -5/+2Haha, this is great!

  • Pizzini3000, on 07/02/2008, -9/+5Is dat sum...?
  • cmccool, on 07/02/2008, -1/+17FTA: "Suggesting a man feast on watermelon to boost performance, he says, 'would be the equivalent of someone dropping a beer bottle in Minneapolis, where the Mississippi River starts, and hoping to see it make an impact on someone in New Orleans.' 'To say that watermelon is Viagra-like is sort of fun," says Goldstein. 'But to even vaguely hope that eating watermelon will alleviate ED is misleading.'"

    gah, stop spitting those dang seeds in my eye!
    • cliffzdude, on 07/03/2008, -0/+2Sorry, those weren't seeds.
      • SimonTB, on 07/03/2008, -0/+2Oh they were seeds... Just not watermelon seeds.
      • cliffzdude, on 07/03/2008, -0/+1Unless... Vasectomy... Nevermind... Too gross...

      Nah, we're hung from birth -- like a baby arm holding an apple (which made it really confusing when I ate apples naked as a kid).

    • JARSInc, on 07/03/2008, -3/+4That joke is racist!
  • Freakboy380, on 07/03/2008, -4/+4So that would explain.... wait nvm... shoulnt say that online... but some one else can if they want... you know you want to
  • zkirill, on 07/03/2008, -2/+68I read "Is Watermelon a Natural Vagina?"

    I thought this was going to be a story about poking holes in watermelons.
    • skippy17, on 07/03/2008, -4/+1Maybe 90% of ED is cured by Vagina that looks a little different.
    • NikoK, on 07/03/2008, -0/+3I was just about to post the same thing. I got unwillingly curious lmfao

  • replaysMike, on 07/03/2008, -3/+3Answer: No.
  • awuwish, on 07/03/2008, -4/+2The sad thing is that there are currently a lot of reports going around that certain watermelons have a bacteria of some sort that can make you go blind.
  • douch3mom, on 07/03/2008, -3/+2I always put sweat pants on when I eat watermelons. I recommend you do the same.

    "Premature" is not a word you want associated with a sex supplement.

      • VinceNoir, on 07/03/2008, -1/+1@julesbond007

        I'm from Cygnus III. I came to Earth about 30 some years ago to observe the bizarre animals who mistakenly think they own our planet. You've all gone a bit "off" after a few thousand years of being left alone. No matter. Your lease on the planet is almost up. You all have 75 years. Then we're coming back and taking it over again. We have a lot of cleanup to do...

        Believable right?
      • julesbond007, on 07/03/2008, -0/+1what?

  • minkusingh, on 07/03/2008, -0/+1Mango is a natural Viagra. Mangoes are known to speed up the blood flow in entire body including your shlong.

    Ever watched Seinfeld episode when george can't get it up and Cosmo Cramer gives him mangoes and he runs to his girlfriend to have sex?
