Charlene's fun prank of the month. Try this at home: If, by some chance, you have a completely overgrown zucchini or squash from this past summer's garden - we are talking one weighing in at more than five pounds here - you can have some fun with this. Sneak it in to a local supermarket, and strategically place the squash among the other, much smaller, squashies in the produce section. Watch as shoppers are confused at the lone monstrous vegetable. "Wow, should I buy this? Honey, look at this thing." Please send video reactions to weeklyshuffle@gmail.com.
