Apples and Oranges

I was told last night that I was not allowed to compare apples to oranges.  (More specifically, I was not allowed to compare peanutbutter cookies to chocolate chip cookies.)

I will now proceed to successfully compare apples and oranges:

With one, you eat the skin - the other, you peel.

One is generally red or green - the other is orange.

One is crunchy when you bite it, and can be mashed into sauce or squeezed into juice or made into cider or put into "jack" form for the purposes of cereal - the other isn't crunchy, but can also be turned into juice.

Tada.

I think people compare stuff like this all the time.  What's the big deal?

Who told you that you couldn't compare the two?

Surely you can't be serious!

It's all relative. Snicker doodles and sugar cookies, they're in the same realm.  Peanut butter and chocolate chip are as well.  But then like oatmeal raisin is all on its own.  But if it's oatmeal chocolate chip, then maybe it's in the running of being in the same realm as the other yummy ones.  The point is, nothing compares to 7-layer magic cookie bars.  Nothing. :)

Damn, now I'm totally gonna have to bake today since I have the day off.

what about "cute as a button"

i saw someone's pic of their newborn baby and was inappropriately distracted trying to figure out who the in the hell ever must have thought a button was cute.  i think that sounds on par with having a crush on a gym sock.
