Man on phone, outside vegetable market:

"We're trying to get people to buy green pumpkins, because they're scarier, y'know?"

And people wonder where writers get their ideas from. They're all around, free for the taking...

They are also far more dangerous and must be kept in cages. In some regions you need a special license to keep green pumpkins. A green pumpkin once bit my sister.

A green pumpkin once bit my sister.

I'm not in the least surprised. If people will carve 'em mouths, they must expect to get bitten.

I have green pumpkin seeds in the cupboard, but I'm scared to plant 'em.

Well, but green pumpkins are dangerous even before you give them teeth. Everyone knows that.

Are they isolated from other seeds? Because if they are allowed to mingle with other kinds of seeds you might have a riot on your hands. Troublemakers, even when not in pumpkin form.

Eek! You mean they are the seeds of ferment, sowing discontent?

I was very disappointed to find that the flesh inside a green pumpkin was still a orange. Green pumkpin soup would have been terrifying.
