Tomato-tormentor.
Grapevines aren't the only things growing in Vinoland's vineyard. Besides vines and weeds, a volunteer tomato (toe-mar-tow) vine has decided to grow right next to a Syrah vine. The location, chosen no doubt so that the tomato can avail itself of the vineyard's irrigation system, poses a bit of a problem for me. Being so anthropomorphic, I am sure the tomato will suffer if I leave it in the vineyard. However, if I transplant it into the vegetable patch, being so late in the season, it'll probably never bear any ripe tomatoes. Or I could just yank it out and put it in the compost bin. Slow day.

Give the little fella a break.
Thud: Fella? I'll transplant it then.
Fellow, you pedant!
Thud: I know what you meant...I just wanted to know how sure you were of its gender.
My good chap and lass, how I miss my sister's expressions of affections.
