The video, posted to YouTube by Kirstin C., shows the man, identified in the video's title as Ali, holding the sword outside his Vancouver home and preparing to slice through the watermelon, which is on a glass patio table.

He said his scimitar stunt ruined his wife's table, but it didn't ruin snack time. "That watermelon was still tasty," he wrote.
