Or something like that. Even our arguments that we only threw cherries with brown rot on them had no effect, probably because she knew we were lying. When his mom left we usually managed to nail John a couple more times. I still stand by my position advocating cherry fighting as a Cherry Festival event. However, with maturity I have broadened my scope.
Today there are many fight games involving high tech equipment, such as laser tag and paintball.
Cherry fighting is a viable alternative. Not only would participants get fresh air and exercise running around in orchards, but cherries are natural, biodegradable, and nutritious. Money could be made by turning cherry throwing into a sport, complete with teams, standings, and statistics. It would not only bring more tourist dollars to the region, but matches could be televised on ESPN2. I have another plan that might just fire up the business community and their need for meetings.
