Seedy Business

Okay, there are certain things in this life I simply don't understand. Let's talk about seeds for a minute. I know for a fact that farmers and people who understand plants and dirt and all of that are able to create various fruits that don't grow with their seeds. We've all enjoyed seedless watermelon on a hot summer day, right? Well, here's my question for those horticulturalists out there: Can you create the seedless lemon? You see, every night at the Olive Garden, I hear over and over, "Water with lemon, Water with lemon." It may be cheap or tacky or simply aid in the taste of our rather poor water system, but there is still one lingering problem and that is in the seeds. Those seeds get everywhere. People take them out of the glass and put them on the table (yes, right on the table! Vulgar, isn't it?!). They complain about them sticking in their straws and ask for new ones. In essence, I've never actually seen a customer gather up the seeds and take them home hoping to grow their very own lemon tree. So why not seedless lemons? It honestly is a genius idea and I hope someone steals it since I can't possibly make it happen.
