Well, carrying a zuchini in your pants is a recipe for disaster.

Some friends and I once grew a batch that went upwards of 24 inches in
length and 7 in diameter at the fat end. Never weighed one, but I
suspect that some got up to five pounds or more. We gave them to
anyone who stopped by for a visit. After a while they stopped
visiting.

Zucchini (at least in this part of the world) are supposed to be about
the size and shape of the customary native brook trout. These were
more like rutting salmon.

reminds a boy of all those critters of various orders, families and
genera with the specific name of "longipennis," which.....as i'm sure
we all remember.....means "prodigious appendage."
