This is a question Expensive Mistakes

coopsweb asks "What's the most expensive mistake you've ever made? Should I mention a certain employee who caused 4 hours worth of delays in Central London and got his company fined £500k?"

No points for stories about the time you had a few and thought it'd be a good idea to wrap your car around a bollard. Or replies consisting of "my wife".

Bad Apple
I lived in this lovely place once. There was just me and my bloke, all of the wonders of nature and it was so private, I just loved to swan about au naturel and there was this big spirit thing looking after us, treating us right and keeping us well fed.

So there I was one day, walking through the fields, and I get to this lovely apple tree, and this voice in my head goes 'go on, take one'. So I do, grab a bite, and give a bit to the old fella too.

And then, what do you know, someone whacks a leaf over my lady bits, kicks me and the old man out of this 'paradise' of some sort and then I get blamed for all the sins of man!

And nothing so much as a warning neither!

Anyway, I got off lightly, better than being flooded, turned into a pillar of salt or being rained on by fire and brimstone. And as for that Lilith lass, well our Adam was better off without her.

Yours,

Eve.

Rather than al fresco, don't you mean
au naturel?

For example, if there were people from the city having lunch in the park, I believe that is called al fresco.

(sorry, it's Friday. I'm in a silly mood)
