Apples and oranges, yes i suppose you could try that analogy, that there i was expressing a preference for one class of fruit over another .... but perhaps an alternate theory could be explored as well - that the two are of the same class, same species, and distinct only in their respective stages of development
Let's say, watermelons .... one is yet but a flower with the merest suggestion of its fruitness burgeoning at its base, its life in the hot sun and fertile soil largely ahead of it .... will the farmer happen to step on it while hoeing the rows, thusly favouring its brethren, or will it grow to a four hundred pounder who takes the blue ribbon at the county fair, well who knows, there may be something to that old watermelon expression of fruitility, life's a peach ..... the other, on the other hand, or should we say vine, has had considerable life behind it, had also the great good luck to not get stepped on, yet, it is large and juicy, a visible target ready now for 1. marketing, 2. theft by the crafty children next door, or 3. getting run over by the tractor in the process of harvest, and subsequently returned to the soil as fertiliser

.. sort of like a lot of fruits around these message boards, eh -g- .... how are ya, E, well i hope ... cheers |
