Apples and Grapes

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 best ones because they are afraid of falling and getting hurt. And let's face it, most men just don't want to make the extra effort needed to find the best. Instead, they take the apples from the ground that aren't nearly as good, but are much easier to obtain.

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's brave enough to climb all the way to the top of the tree.

Men are like a fine wine.

They begin as grapes, and it's up to women to stomp the shit out of them until they turn into something acceptable to have dinner with.

Just one of those silly emails I like to share now and then......

CRAP! Now I know my problem. I hate wine and don't like apples. Can woman be like something better like oranges or cherries...I love cherries, even a good plum would be nice. And men can be like Chicken...plenty of them, cheap and down deep pretty much the same meat, but what you do to dress it up can be amazing!

Would that be California Zin or a French Bordeaux?

I'm gonna post the difference on my blog tomorrow.

I don't like the stomping on men imagery. Unless, men are like grapes -- some are fine as they are, some need to be stomped into wine, and some should just be burnt in a fire pit. That's okay.

And a lot of those apples on the bottom have been squeezed WAY too many times, and have flies swirling around their diseased flesh.

They say I am a grape,
That is too ripe to eat,
Whose only dream
Is to be stomped
By Brooke's dainty, dainty feet.

This is so true. I don't know how it's done, but this nails the difference between the sexes.

Loz said...

the apples at the top of the tree are sometimes there so long that they give up and fall to the ground, bruised, battered and bitter.

I had to shake the tree all day to get MLA. The funny part, though, was the guy on the tall ladder who almost reached her before she fell into my basket...

...with the others.

how's that story go, you know, the one about that chick Eve grabbing the apple when she wasn't supposed to...

Lo Lo Lova said...

How about them apples?

Good stuff.

Just remember this: It's hard for a grape to climb an apple tree. It takes time!

Cactus Prick said...

My apples have all had worms.

Damn those apples.

True Jersey Girl said...

Haha! Love that!!!

jayeofmanyhats said...

True it is hard for a grape to climb an apple tree, but funny to watch!

Modigliani said...

You had me laughing out loud with this one. It started out so sweet and like maybe it would end with some prayer or something like "send this to 10 fabulous women and your wish will come true"! LOL .... very funny! As usual, you are always making me laugh out loud. :)

John said...

A good way to look at things. It took a while to pick an apple I like.

Fella said...

I love being stomped.

Ubermilf said...

You're already whiney enough, Nick.

I like mangoes. Is there something wrong with me?

Spirit Of Owl said...

Hey, I hope you know Brooke my response was a tad facetious.

Kallun - I like mangoes too. I'll be a mango for you.

Owl - goof!

jayeofmanyhats said...

Yes I am alive. You wouldn't know by the look of me though.

Broooooooke,
You don't know what you're missing, baby.

Zin is exquisite.

Being kissed like a Zin tastes is pretty nice too... (see my definition on my space)

Brooke darlin' that was the funniest thing I've heard all week. Awesome. I need to go spam everyone I know with that now.

egan said...

Brooke, I'm happy you can tell the difference. (no sarcasm)

thephoenixnyc said...

Now THAT is funny.

Although some would rague it takes a fat wallet to climb to the top of the tree.

Brian said...

But..you have a much better time with wine than apples! ;-)

Cincysundevil said...

Hhhhmmmm ... this is an interesting post. I guess on the way to the top, I got hit in the head by a crazy apple because those seem to be the only ones I ever run across. Maybe I'm in the wrong orchard .....
