Speed Bump by Dave Coverly for August 27, 2016

Granny Smith keeps an eye on us to make sure there’s no mixing.

Yes, but I think if you look closer, every apple in your tray has the name #4018 (or something like that)…

oh they do at some stores, when stupid people don’t put them back into the right slot….

don’t they grow that way?

Somebody has been playing “Tag” .

At least you’re not conseeded.

Sorry, it’s not covered by your GMO

Well, that only stands to reason. The Pink Ladies would surely corrupt every apple’s morals, thus spoiling the entire bunch.

A boy like that, who’ll kill your brotherForget that boy, and find anotherOne of your own kindStick to your own kind

What Delicious humor. They might let them go to a mixer in Rome or maybe Cortland, but they’d have to learn to dance the SweetTango. Then they could go on ‘Dancing with the Stars’ hosted by Alec Baldwin.

If they mixed, They would become a Pear…and if they marriedthey would both be Crab Apples.

Now I’m picturing apples with a tag that says “Hello, my name is ________”

My apple lament – it’s getting harder and harder to find my favorite classic Macintosh apples every year.

I’ve been known to return Golden Delicious to their section when they wander into the Fujis.
