I'm spending a few days in St. Petersburg, Russia, with some of our excellent engineers in AWT, Swing, and Java 2D. The situation in the picture below is quite common; a fruit seller will incarcerate the watermelons. It's not clear whether the jail is for punishment of past crimes, fear of future offenses, or protection against escape.
In any case, here's a picture (thanks to Paul Rank) of:

Chet,
What do we name this series of "high intellect humor" featured in your blog for several weeks (/months) now? :-)

It's not a prison for watermelons actually,
notice the door is open.
It's a traditional Russian trap for intellectual foreigners
(especially from 2D team :-)),
they usually get in the cage to see what is it about,
door quickly closed and...
the trap owner can add one more watermelon to the cage

Have you tried them? They're from Tashkent and surely the tastiest melons in the world! (and don't get me started on Tashkent lemons...)

I heard when you buy a melon you're really giving cash to post a bond for the melon. A bunch of rotten ones in that cell, there is :P
