Summary: Fruits? 


On a sunny market day in the tiny hamlet of Lebanon City on Bris, 
two Starfleet officers on a few hours' liberty sat in an open air 
cafe and took in the colonial ambiance. 

Assorted rustics were hauling their goods to market on the main road. 
As the two officers watched, an overladen watermelon truck broke 
down a few meters from their table. 

"Watermelons," said the one officer to his companion. "Hmm. Green on 
the outside, pink on the inside--and juicy. Remind you of anyone you 
know?"

"Stop fantasizing," said the other. "I am most certainly not pink 
inside."
