If Lassie were crossed with a cantaloupe would she be melancholy?

Posted on by Lord Buckbeak

Just wanted to note that I invented this pun in the 1960s when I was in high school. Since then it has been plagiarized multiple times by others. Another version is: If Lassie were depressed would she be melancholy?

“My melancholy is the most faithful mistress I have known; what wonder then that I love her in return.”

Who is the man who delights in life, who desires to see good days? Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from deceitful speech. Turn away from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it. The eyes of the LORD are on the righteous, and His ears are inclined to their cry. But the face of the LORD is against those who do evil, to wipe out all memory of them from the earth. Psalm 34:12-16
