My favorite answers to the question, How DID you grow it so big ?

#1 I don't know, it just grew there.
#2 I grew it on top of an artisian well.
#3 Milk of course, lots of it, 3 or 4 gallons a day.
#4 Beer is a must, heavy dark beer is the best, A 12 pack
per day
#5 Night fertilizer, every night. Grower must consume a
6 pack of beer.
#6 Miracle Grow, absolutely, recommended rate is for
peas, were growing pumpkins! use at least a gallon per
day straight from the jug.
#7 Radiation, yes in moderation, a dozen smoke detector
batteries will do wonders.
#8 PGH, Pumpkin growth hormone, They sell it at Wal-Mart.
#9 Genetic engineering, I just splice in a few genes from a
whale.
#10 Mind control, Is that real?, Why yes young Skywalker,
it weighs 2,800 lbs.
#11 I got the seeds from someone named Jack. He was
mumbling something about how they were supposed to be
bean seeds.

# 36... Pumpkin weight and pie making ability are directly proportional... If it weighs 1000 pounds, you can make 1000 pies...
