I was “inspired” by the watermelon joke.

A farmer had a watermelon patch, and people were stealing them.

So he put up a sign in his watermelon patch that said, ‘One of these melons is poisoned.’

He went to bed and got up the next morning, and sure enough nobody had stolen a watermelon. Everything was the same, except the sign had been changed. It now read, ‘Two of these watermelons are poisoned.'”

NO POISONS OR TOXINS ARE CONDONED!
Only the threat.
Peace 🪷
