Pear: the Iconoclast's Apple

Did I mention that we're eating a little more healthful* lately? Well, we are.

What this means is that I have been having a pear with cheese for lunch. I could just as easily be eating an apple, except that I'm not. I'm eating a pear. Because I'm just that cool.

Really, what is a pear but a way to get attention while eating an apple? You walk down the street past a guy eating an apple and you think nothing, but change that apple to a pear and your mind is blown. "What the crap?!" you say to yourself. You possibly even say it out loud; that's just how much your paradigm has been shifted. You are, in a word, completelyblownaway.

*: Ah, "healthful," the word most people want when they use "healthy." Healthy food is food that has no diseases, like a carrot that passed its last physical. Healthful food is food that contributes to the health of its eater, like a healthy carrot.
