"Women are like apples on trees. The best ones are at the top of the tree. Most men don't want to reach for the good ones because they are afraid of falling and getting hurt. Instead, they sometimes take the apples from the ground that aren't as good, but are easy. The apples at the top think something is wrong with them, when in reality, they're amazing. They just have to wait for the right man to come along, the one who is brave enough to climb all the way to the top of the tree.
Now, men are like a fine wine. They begin as grapes, and it's up to women to stomp them incessantly until they turn into something acceptable to have dinner with."
With the divorce rate now up to 50 percent, it's obvious that a lot of men are afraid to climb trees. Or that men aren't worth stomping in the first place.

My grandmother handed me this article a month or so ago and told me I should read it...she thought it was some good food for thought. Now that I've finally gotten around to reading it, I agree with her....Now I've just got to wait for the right guy to climb all the way up the tree... :)-

As a guy who did climb up a (very tall) tree to reach a (hopefully) good apple, but now is one of those divorce statistics, I really don't know what to think of this. In principle it sounds right, but I don't know... Sometimes those apples up high aren't so good, and the ones on the ground make Good Pie. Likewise, sometimes a batch of homemade wine goes bad but the fresh grapes are delicious. Hmmmm. I'll need to think some more.
