I'm not talking about romantic dates, which are usually harrowing, but rather, about the kind of dates that poisoned Sallah's pet monkey (but only because they had poison added). I picked some up this morning and they're amazingly good! The texture is remarkable. Dates are basically just chewy blobs of sugar with little crunchy bits of sugar inside. Thumbs up for dates.
And pickles have been described as being basically "crunchy water".

So presumably man can live on a diet of dates and pickles!
The problem, of course, is that being on a diet of dates and pickles would make all of your romantic dates become pickles.
Crunchy water, eh? That is quite an interesting thought. I'll have to go home and eat a pickle while medatating on this. My moment of Zen for the day.
Well, while we are being puntastic:

They say if your dates swell too much, your pickle might be next.

Zing?

Yeah, dates rock. They're sugary AND they're good for you. Does it ever get any better than that? I don't think so!
Methinks Scooby doesn't fully grasp the difference between a pun and innuendo. A good pun has innuendo in it, though... ;-)
