Hey! Kick back and mix a little vodka with your tomato juice and relax, after all this is a laughter thread. I could have told you a Texas tall tale and really pissed you off. But noticing from your profile I see you are a lawyer, so when did they start worrying about the facts? Just joking!

Tomato Growers Dig Rock 'N' Roll Music Wednesday April 14 8:34 AM ET dailynews.yahoo.com LONDON (Reuters) - British tomato growers have decided rock 'n' roll may be an ideal aphrodisiac for their plants. Growers who used to employ people or machines to shake the plants to increase pollination found they could get better results blasting them with loud bass-heavy music, the Guardian newspaper said Wednesday. ''Music with a strong beat is best,'' Alan Parker, chairman of the Tomato Growers' Association, was quoted as saying. Disc jockey Dave Cash, asked to come up with tunes to pollinate by, included the Beach Boys' ''Good Vibrations'' and Bruce Springsteen's ''Dancing in the Dark.''
