Watermelon test for audiophiles!

Hey,

In this hot and perfect watermelon season (where lots of them are really tasty and sweet), I was wondering if audiophiles can actually pick up a PERFECT watermelon just by tapping it and listening to the tap.  If one can hear differences between different cables, it's a lot easier task to listen to watermelon tap. Or on the other hand, if you can't tell which watermelon is perfect by tapping, how come you can hear differences in wires or cables?

When I was a firefighter on the Florida gulf coast, some of us worked the shows at the Civic Center on our days off. When Gallagher came to town I always got to help set up his props and mess with the Sledge-O-Matic.

Nice guy, Gallagher. Total pothead. Could get high just by walking by his tour bus.

@desktopguy ,

I believe the premise of the op is that if you do not possess the auditory skills to hear the reverberations of a perfectly ripe melon whilst tapping upon it, you do not possess the skills to discern the auditory differentials of various quality cables.

But in a fun, lighthearted way.
