Watermelon Warning

Saskatchewan Roughriders fans, arriving at Vancouver's Empire Field last weekend, were informed that their watermelon helmets--headgear de rigueur for Roughies fans--were not allowed. Security staff explained that watermelons could become dangerous projectiles. 

Were this so, fans in Regina tonight, watching their team blow two sure touchdown chances within millimetres of the goal, then losing 45-28 to the Calgary Stampeders, might have been tempted to hurl their watermelons at the sputtering Green Machine. 

And this just in: CSIS reports that Iran may be stockpiling watermelons.

    Okay, so the game actually ended 45-35. We missed the last two minutes because we were in a hurry to get out of the stands and down to the hat check counter to retrieve our watermelon helmet.
