Edible Flower Arrangement

To All: So yesterday there was a knock at the door, so I looked out my peephole and there is a guy standing there that looks like he's holding a bag of bagels. I'm wondering "What the hell is THIS guy selling". So I open the door and he says "delivery". I ask him, "Have you got right address?" He says its for Robert DuCharme. I reply, yeah that's me all right. He hands it to me and I almost dropped it, this thing is HUGE & HEAVY - like weighing half as much as a Chinese Kurt knock off. I asked him what is it? Well it was what they call "An Edible Flower Arrangement". There are no actual flowers involved, it's made up of various fruits cut and arranged like a bouquet of flowers. It had cantaloupe, strawberries, grapes, pineapple, and some unknown round things - at least unknown to me. So the first thing I did was take a picture of it, so I could take the picture to Fran. I put a banana there for size reference. I ate some of it and took a bunch of the fruit off the "Arrangement" and put it in the refrigerator. But there was no way I could eat all of that before it went bad. So not wanting to waste it, I took the rest of it to the shop and let the shop rats (the human ones), feast on it. It was a BIG HIT. Now here's the good part; it came with a card saying (paraphrased) Best wishes to Fran and me... - and on that card were the names of over 2 dozen regulars in amc! I did a spot check by E-mailing some of the names on the list and everyone I contacted said that YES they had agreed to have their names put on the card. I showed Fran the picture today, she said: "It's BEAUTIFUL, she said to thank every single person on that card. She may even come home soon enough to eat some of the "flowers" I have in the refrigerator. Not to get sappy sentimental, but I will anyway. You guys have no idea how deeply this touches me. I am forever in your debt. To the "ringleaders"; The price of this gift has got to be high, but what is even more costly is the hours...

Well, I had it coming. I guess I shouldn't post when I first get up and am still bleary eyed.
