Watermelon Seeds

It's supposed to be sarcastic, so don't mind me if any of the terms I use are technically right. That's kinda the point. :)

I’ve decided seedless watermelon is irrefutable proof of the laziness of human beings as a whole. One small team of researchers work hard for weeks, months, maybe years, to change the DNA in watermelon just enough to make it grow without seeds. Once they succeed, millions of people around the world reap the benefits of not having to work so hard at spitting out or manually removing their seeds. No matter that usually the taste is flatter and the color duller than normal watermelon, as long as I don’t have to work my tongue and spit those black little pests into the grass. Or worse yet, take them over to the trashcan. Gasp! Oh no, let me sit here and eat my watermelon with out moving my tongue, much less my feet. And yet, as I stand here with a slice of watermelon, a knife, and a growing pile of black seeds, I can’t help but wish for a slice of flavorless, drab, trouble-free seedless watermelon.
