LIFE EXPLAINED, PART 119

Contrary to popular wisdom, you can compare apples and oranges. They are both fruits, they both grow on trees, both make delicious juice and both can be found in most people's homes. One big difference is that oranges rarely show up on teachers' desks, and another is that apple pie is considered especially American while oranges are seldom baked into any pies, no matter what their national identification. Also, no one ever seems to go bobbing for oranges. See, we just compared apples and oranges and the sky didn't fall in and life goes merrily on. Perhaps tomorrow we'll tear the "Do Not Remove Under Penalty of Law" tags off of some mattresses and really tempt fate.
