“Despite the maxim, we in fact can compare apples to oranges, and we do it all the time

I like apples Wildcat. An apple a day keeps the doctor away. But oranges, ohhhhhh, they are, well, the nector of the God's.

i like both & never compare them. may be my transitivity is not so sensitive ..... -))

With an apple I will astonish Paris.



Paul Cezanne

An apple a day keeps the doctor away; two apples a day keeps two doctors away.

I'd rather have a full bottle in front of me than a full frontal lobotomy.

a full bottle of what? ab

courage, as opposed to 'losing my bottle', 'bottling out'. Heart. May be cockney slang, from 'bottle of corage' (courage being a wellknown london beer).

try Absinthe, it makes rational decision making, so much more fun,and so much less rational, and gives you courage too..
GB would approve

Gawd. That is the devil's brew, lunatic soup. In Moulin Rouge (the new one) kylie minogue as the absinthe fairy warned me off the dubious delights of alcoholic hallucinations for ever.

never underestimate, dubious delights, as Dracula said: "Absinthe is the aphrodisiac of the self"..

No ab, it’s derived from the Cockney slang:
Aristotle = Bottle; Bottle and Glass = Arse (US=Ass)): so 'Bottle Glass' = Arse; eg. 'Losing one’s bottle' (courage) which, put crudely means 'sh*****g' oneself.
Also there is, ‘Aris’[totle] = Arse, eg. ‘Up your aris’.

Milk has gotta lorra bottle. Thanks, mickfinn. Knew there was something.

i like both & never compare them.

YAY!
