Apples have become an integral part of our lives.....
Since the hey days of Adam and Eve.....there has been the forbidden apple (which to me sounded like sex more than a fruit, but you can't really put Kamasutra into the Bible now can you...).
As a result of eating it there was the birth of Adam's Apple.... (When Eve has it, we call Eve a tranny)
There's Newton's apple theory of gravity discovery....which proves that all geniuses need a good knock on their head to function and come up with endless discoveries later....
Then there's the Apple Polisher....which if you think about it, what difference is a polished apple gonna make? If its clean you eat it....if it shines you still eat it......Goes to show how teachers like students who do a whole bunch of redundant tasks...
There's the "Rotten Apples" in a given group, whose function actually is not to terrorize other kids but to make those "polished apples" shine brighter.....they are in fact doing justice to people who do redundant work.
Big Apple is referred to New York and now in Malaysia it is the brand of a particular doughnut chain. Remarkably, despite etymology research, the closest link they came with is apple was once upon a time referred to horse race tracks and New York had the finest track hence the term Big Apple.... No relevance.... Maybe from today I shall refer people who have no relevance to an organisation or to society as a Big Apple too....
Anyway why the Apple talk?
It all started this morning when I was in the lift.....
It stopped 3 levels below me with many more to go and this woman walked in and stood at the door, holding the lift while shouting to her daughter to hurry up.....No remorse or no apologies for holding the lift, like it was her God given right to hold the lift and perhaps she paid more for having a share of the lift that others do not have a say to the usage of it.....
Once the daughter walks in with her sleepy eyes (she's about 7), lady starts scolding her child.....calling her irresponsible and inconsiderate to make people (me) wait while she takes her time to walk into the lift......
How I wished Newton's apple would fall onto this woman....maybe she might be a little smarter with vitamins diffusing into her brain......
Anyway she was going on and on and on...thank goodness the child was wise enough to ignore her.... And when she got off the lift, again no courtesy to apologise for holding the lift..... For a moment I felt like I did something wrong to use "her" lift....
Oh well....thanks to her I get to ramble....
Funfact:
