Occupying Grandpa’s chair can be a dumb thing to do, Nelson. Hazardous to your health. Unless you enjoy getting squashed by things that are aromatically challenged.
I live near Pine Tree Apple Orchard, but for some reason I never see pineapples there. And with Covid, they’ve stopped the weekend hayrides and bluegrass music. Next year….
A fellow decided he wanted to raise chickens. He bought a bunch of biddies, tilled the soil thoroughly, planted them six inches deep. But no chickens grew.
“Maybe I planted them too deep.”
Bought another batch, planted them with their heads above the soil. They lived a couple of days but then THAT crop failed.
“I’m doing something wrong. Better ask the experts.”
He wrote Auburn University’s Agricultural Department, detailing his efforts and asking what he should have done differently.
The experts quickly responded, “Dummy!! We can’t tell anything without a soil sample.”
NOTE: No animals were harmed in the telling of this joke.
Speaking of apples, maybe as a young lad, Prince heard this song and got inspired: ♫"God didn’t make little green apples, and it don’t snow in Minneapolis when the winter comes. And there’s no such thing as make-believe, puppy dogs, autumn leaves and BB guns."♪

And peaches don’t fall from maple trees and oranges don’t fall from elm trees and lemons don’t fall from weeping willow trees.

Apples DO fall from oak trees in Minecraft.
Due to the fact that there are no apple trees but there ARE apples.

But there are "oak apples”, the gaul that forms from a wasp egg. I saw a chipmunk tearing one apart for the larva inside it.
