Who can blame us when Mark Twain's Pudd'nHead Wilson said it so
eloquently:

"It is the chief of this world's luxuries, king by the grace of God
over all the fruits of the earth. When one has tasted it, he knows what
the angels eat. It was not a Southern watermelon that Eve took; we know
it because she repented."
