Apples
To disable ads, please log-in.
A friend sent me this I thought it was pretty funny.
Women are like apples on trees. The best ones are at the top of the
tree. Most men don't want to reach for the good ones because they are
afraid of falling and getting hurt. Instead, they sometimes take the
apples from the ground that aren't as good, but easy. The apples at the
top think something is wrong with them, when in reality, they're
amazing. They just have to wait for the right man to come along, the one
who is brave enough to climb all the way to the top of the tree.
Now Men.... Men are like a fine wine. They begin as grapes and it's up
to women to stomp the sh*t out of them until they turn into something
acceptable to have dinner with.
Share this with all the good apples you know.The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

not only is that the trooth - but have any of you tried the Pink Ladies apples??.......truly amazingly wonderful!!
just like us!Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"

I must pass that joke on to a few people. It's a good one.Drink coffee and do stupid things faster with more energy.

When I was a kid, we had a Haroldson and a Prairie Spy. So those are my favorites.

Yow> I have just in the past 2 months discovered Pink Lady apples. They are *also* a Down-Under contribution to the Greater Good. Another one. Developed in Oz they are a cross between Lady Williams and Golden Delicious. They were real expensive (and imported from USA) so I bought 2 per week, but just this week locally grown ones from the Golan Heights and the Galilee appeared in our wee shop .
Way OT!!

I have not heard of "pink ladies" anywhere but this thread... I look forward to seeing them somewhere...
But my faves are "Gala" and "Pacific Rose"

Yeah, I haven't tried 'em either. They're always, like, £2.00 for four apples instead of £1.2something or £1.3something for seven or eight.
