Forbidden Fruit

W e are out of toilet paper I say! I’m gonna do my business outside beneath an apple sapling. That I may return a little phosphorus and nitrogen to the soil I have been so content to rob. And Years from now I’ll know that some bastard generation grows yet, sprung not from my loins, but thereabouts at least

I shall never look at an apple quite the same way again.... LMBO However it does take fertile soil to make the fruit tree grow. ;-) Great figurative language throughout. ~ Adell
