   Blobbi's garden is growing beautifully but the darn tomatos   
   won't ripen. There's a limit to the number of uses for green   
   tomatos and she's getting tired of it.  So she goes to her   
   neighbor and says, "Your tomatos are ripe, mine are green.  What   
   can I do about it?"  Her neighbor replies, "Well, it may sound   
   absurd but here's what to do. Tonight there's no moon. After   
   dark go out into your garden and take all your clothes off.   
   Tomatos can see in the dark and they'll be embarrassed and   
   blush. In the morning they'll all be red, you'll see."  Well,   
   what the heck?  She does it.  Next day her neighbor asks how it   
   worked.  "So-so," Blobbi answers.  "The tomatos are still green   
   but the cucumbers are all brown, rotting, and smell like dead   
   catfish now."
