The seed story is just absoluely unbelievable. When we started it we didn't think at all that Pasquale would fall for it. But Kenny worked in produce in a grocer store, we were all kids, and he was very close with his boss, as a matter of fact he worked in produce all his life. In fact eventually Kenny moved to New York, and just got locked into produce. But Pasquale needed a job and Kenny and I came up with this idea this idea that we would persuade him to apply for a job at the store where Kenny worked to be the seed injector. We persuaded him, you know I said to him, how do you think the seeds get into food and things, you have seedless watermelon and seeded watermelon, the seeds have to get in there somehow, same thing with grapes. There are guys in the back who do this.
So Pasquale initially thought we were pulling his leg, but eventually we were so convincing that he thought he'd be foolish not to believe us. I remember, the whole night, once he did believe us, we spent the whole night drinking beer, and Kenny instructed him how to answer questions the boss who is going to interview him might ask, and Pasquale was taking notes, reviewing notes, and this went on for several days as he was preparing for this interview. And Kenny told him not to tell anyone, because it was this really cushy job, and if he told anyone they would go and snatch it before he would have a chance.
All of it was really harmless and nobody really got hurt. We loved Pasquale and we were always protecting him. So he did, he went applied for the job, and Kenny was there the whole time, just absolutely dying, because Pasquale filled out the application and Kenny's boss accepted the application and he interviewed him. The boss told Pasquale that unfortunately someone had just taken the position but that he would keep his application on file in case. The strangest thing is, I don't know right now if Pasquale ever caught on at that time, after the interview. I'm sure he knows now, but not while we were hanging out together.
