[Rhodes22-list] Warning: Bad Puns

[Herb Parsons]

A berry farmer was surprised to notice that one of his berries never 
completely ripened, but continued to grow.
It soon became larger than the rest of the bush itself, but never 
ripened, and continued to grow.
He asked some friends if they'd ever seen anything like that, and they 
hadn't, but they asked other friends and other friends, and word began 
to spread.

Eventually, people were coming from miles around to see this berry that 
was now getting as big as his barn.

So, being a good (greedy) American, the farmer decided to start charging 
admission. He eventually even set up snack bars and other entertainment, 
all for a modest fee of course.

Along with the new regular income came a need for security cameras and 
alarms; however, it was all worth it. Thought not cheap, it be the heck 
out of picking berries.

But then one day, the alarms went off. Fearing a theft, the farmer when 
running outside with his shotgun, and threats of what would happen of 
the perp didn't stop. He was just about to fire into the berry bushes, 
when a voice rang out:

"wait, wait, we come to praise your berry, not to seize her"
