There's an apple a day joke there somewhere.

Apparently, the idiom was created by the funeral industry, not unlike the "tradition" of diamond wedding rings, etc.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
