Ripe Watermelom - Knock Method

Misc.
This is an old "truism" I heard when I was a child, but it has always worked for me. If the knock sounds like a knock on your forehead, it is not ripe enough, if it sounds like a knock on your belly (providing you are not a body builder) it is too ripe. If it sounds the same as a knock on your chest it should be just about right. So if they haven't locked you up for thumping yourself and the fruit at the store--you may find a good one!!
