To The Richard:
Why have we lost the tomato wars?
What happen to all the Bradley Pinks? The tomatoes we get now have cardboard
like skin, and they taste as if they came straight from California.

Possible answers:
(1) The University of Arkansas, operating under a six-hundred
million dollar grant to develop a tomato that would bounce when dropped from a
three-story building,—managed to do it.
(2) It has been documented that the first cardboard tomatoes
appeared during the first year of the George W. Bush's presidency.
(3) The cardboard tomatoes are just an example of genetically
engineered products. The Razorback Cheerleaders are to be next. The Alabama
pom-pom girls have already been genetically engineered, and the results look
very promising.
Answer: # 1. Actually, there is some truth
in all of the above, but more blame must go to our fair University. The
experiment to produce the durable Styrofoam tomatoes that could be reused as cups,
and that could be grown in your garden, ended up as the noted Sty-fro-mater A
little known fact is that the leftovers from River Market are sold to the
Highway Department for pothole repair.
