Last words Kaitlin said to her father before he was crushed.

How’re they supposed to get it home and who’s supposed to carve it?

Peter, Peter, pumpkin eater…

Just warning you, Kiddo. He’s gonna kill it.

He will have one heck of backache when he gets it home!

If they charge by weight…

Hope he’s got a flatbed….

Ah, what you do to hear those magic words…

There’s a Sisyphus joke here somewhere…

Now she wants 4 mice and a fairy godmother.

oh look you can see his back going out…

Not far from the truth: there are pumpkin growing contests whose winners weigh over a ton, and with girth to match. How to handle a piece of fruit that weighs a ton is a problem.

Just don’t shrug.

I bought a small pumpkin once, maybe 2 or 3 pounds, and was going to cut it in half to make a couple of hanging bird feeders. I left it outside for a day, and when I was prepared to start the project I discovered that squirrels had chewed a hole straight through the pumpkin and eaten everything inside.

Now THAT’S a GREAT PUMPKIN , but where’s Linus?

Someone alert Charley Brown.

It’s the great pumpkin!

As long as they’re not going to make or buy pumpkin spice
