You have to be an idiot to pay 2 million yen for a melon! I guess if you only pay 500,000 yen that makes you less of an idiot, but still an idiot in my book.

Just like what Thomas Tusser said, "a fool and his money are soon parted."

Something is worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it.

As long as there are humans, someone will always blame the melons. -but in fact they are the innocent party.

Don't blame the melons 2009.

500,000 for a melon. Bananas! I would much rather eat a 100 yen banana.

Just another way of flushing your money down the crapper.

I hope its seedless...otherwise each seed you spit out would be like 1,000 yen!

I'll have the 500,000-yen melon to follow my 6,000,000-yen tuna! Quite a dinner.
