How do you like them apples?
Many years ago an old friend of mine from uni went round to her new boyfriends house for the first time.

She was a bit peckish and was delighted to see a bowl of lovely green apples.

"Can I have an apple?" she asked.

"of course, 17p please" he replied

My mate laughed, grabbed an apple and proceeded to chomp away..

"No really, 17p please" he said. The fellow was being serious.

She put the apple down and left- and didn't go back- and never paid him for the bite of apple. I ask you- 17p? He had quite clearly 'done the math' on this one.

I think
I'd have lobbed the bloody apple at him. Followed by the rest of the appples, then the bowl.
