Seems to me that the way to riches with pineapples is to spend a few bux in research and get a cross-bred pineapple/tulip.

Remember the stock market craze when buying tulip bulbs was the rage? (Well, ok, that's before BOTH of our times ... remember the STORIES of tulip bulbs?)

To plagiarize a great line from a name-forgotten movie about football (Burt Reynolds was in it?)

... "It worked once, right?"

Of course, that's not nearly as good as the made-for-TV version of a line from that same movie where they mangled the text to make it acceptable for TV ... "I think I broke his frickin' neck!" ... which was then repeated several times, and then finally put out over the radio waves by the football game announcers in the press box.

Ah, memories ...

If only I had some.

"waiting to blow"

Unfortunate pineapple truths.

People think that because the pineapple is the symbol of hospitality that they will be greeted warmly whenever they see a pineapple, nothing could actually be further from the truth, pineapples deserve a lot of respect.

If you pick pineapples long enough you have no fingerprints, they get eaten away by the acidic juices.
