“And since our calculations are correct, we should be able to hit that target over there.”
“Right. Watermelon’s loaded?”
“Yup. Set to the proper force, and we’re ready to launch.”

“Yeah, what about our flawless calculations?”
“You do realize that you solved for the vertical distance of the watermelon, right?”
“Wh-what do you mean?”
“Well, you used the initial _vertical_velocity and vertical acceleration in your figurings…”
“Get to the point, Janson! I want to see that watermelon land on the target!”
“Oh, that melon’s gonna land on a target… it’s just not the one you guys intended…”
