Real Life Conversation #54

Dude! Stephen J. Cannell died!

Who?

Stephen J. Cannell - he created and wrote for a bunch of shows - Greatest American Hero, 21 Jump Street, The A Team, Hardcastle and McCormick, Rockford Files...

Huh. That's too bad.

He died of melonoma. You should get checked out.

But I don't even eat melon.

...

I don't even eat melon! Ha ha ha! Did you hear me?

I heard you.

Why, God? Why?

There are only two flavors I can't tolerate. As a result, I can and do eat just about anything (my omnivorous ancestors rejoice!).

These two intolerable flavors are 1) Coconut and 2) Melon (yes, all types of melon).

Hey, maybe I could do some research to discover that coconuts are a form of melon, and I can make my dislikes 50% more succinct.

I have an irrational fear that one day, suddenly and for no reason, all the food I eat will begin to taste like coconut. Just thought you should know.
