Blobbi's garden is growing beautifully but the darn tomatos
won't ripen. There's a limit to the number of uses for green
tomatos and she's getting tired of it. So she goes to her
neighbor and says, "Your tomatos are ripe, mine are green. What
can I do about it?" Her neighbor replies, "Well, it may sound
absurd but here's what to do. Tonight there's no moon. After
dark go out into your garden and take all your clothes off.
Tomatos can see in the dark and they'll be embarrassed and
blush. In the morning they'll all be red, you'll see." Well,
what the heck? She does it. Next day her neighbor asks how it
worked. "So-so," Blobbi answers. "The tomatos are still green
but the cucumbers are all brown, rotting, and smell like dead
catfish now."
