Re: Question that has us baffled

Chriss,
Way I do it is - 
Hold a harvest party. 
Buy approx. one case of something cold to drink.
Invite 16-20 of the youngest best-looking guys you know.
Take pictures of everyone with the pumpkin to be harvested.
Hand-select four guys to tip the pumpkin up on one side.
Slide a tarp, folded in half, beneath the fruit.
Then roll or otherwise wrestle the fruit back up on its other side and
unfold the tarp.

Everybody rests and drinks a drink.

Then you have the guys each take a handle of the tarp. Everyone ready?
At the count of three, everyone lifts at once.
When they do, an elderly lady gets underneath and shoves a pallet beneath
the pumpkin-on-the-tarp.
What, no elderly ladies! YOU may have to do it then. Be sure to scramble out
from underneath before the guys collapse in exhaustion.

If you followed these instructions carefully, you now have a kind of layer
cake: pumpkin on top of a tarp on top of a pallet.
Here's where the forklift takes over and eases the layers into the bed of
the waiting truck. It's a piece a cake, really.
