you forgot to place the watermelon "between the two patented pans" for the SLEGE-O-MATIC to work!
for those of you who do not know.... Leo Anthony Gallagher Jr. (July 24, 1946 – November 11, 2022), known simply as Gallagher, was an American comedian who became one of the most recognizable comedic performers of the 1980s for his prop-based and observational style. His signature routine involved the "Sledge-O-Matic", a large mallet-like tool which he used to smash various items, most notably watermelons. For more than 30 years, he played between 100 and 200 shows a year, destroying tens of thousands of melons. Rest In Laughter, my friend. --GF

When I was up on stage with him, he had modified it slightly... He had a giant stainless salad mixing bowl nailed to the podium, and another identical one to the end of the sledge-o-matic, I was supposed to... apparently mess up and cover myself... instead... I hit it perfect.... he dove off to the side and I apparently hit people in the mezzanine with stuff... he said I was the only person to make both bowls come together perfect :P Was really epic to be part of.
