Their state vegetable is the fuc­king watermelon. It gets worse because their state fruit, the strawberry, isn't a goddamned fruit either.

Everywhere else it is considered a fruit, but in Oklahoma the watermelon has been officially declared a vegetable.

And not just any vegetable, Oklahoma's house of representatives yesterday voted to award the watermelon the honour of official state vegetable. The official state fruit is the strawberry.

A bill on the proposal was passed yesterday by 78 votes to 19.

On a more serious note, this contrasts with the EU's designation of the tomato as a vegetable and its regulations on the shape of bananas.

I honestly don't know how much more banal governments can get.

If you wanna get real technical, vegetables don't exist - it's just a term for the grocery store. All things that grow on trees, bushes, vines, etc, are fruits.

Now you're just talking shit.

And yet, somehow even the dumbest state lets gays get married...
