9. Are you really in Saigon?
Because I thought it was called Ho Chi Minh city unless they changed it back.

10. Yes
and it's both. Technically it is Ho Chi Minh, but everybody calls it Saigon. It's also bloody hot.

Clearly I recognise that apples are a fruit. It was a quote about lesbians.

11. Oh that's cool
I've never been to Vietnam but I'd like to go some day. And I love Vietnamese food! Especially pho bo.

PS: Don't let my Pink Floyd avatar mess with your mind. I'm a straight male!

12. Amazing country
I can't say enough about the place. It's amazing mainly because of the people.

Food is great but you can never say know to the dodgy stuff without causing offense. Pho Bo is fantastic but fertilized egg (with beak and feathers) live snake, dog and human excrement fed cat-fish are pretty hard to swallow.

15. It's about sex
Apples are nice, wholesome. You just bite into them and that's it. Apples are the prim virgins of the fruit world.

Oranges are a different matter. They are the wonderful sluts of the fruit world. You peel them with your hands and their juice gets on your fingers and makes them all sticky so you have to lick your fingers. And then you pull them into segments - which you can gobble whole or suck out the juices slowly.

Apples are food. Oranges are a sensual delight.

And it goes further! Apples can make apple sauce or apple pie. Wholesome. Traditional. Oranges can make orange souflee. duck a l'orange, and their zest adds zing to many dishes. Vodka in orange juice is a screwdriver. Vodka in apple juice is alcoholism.

Apples or Oranges? Virgins or Courtesans? I think I proved that my choice is better :)

Khash.

interesting way to look at it. If you've seen the movie American Pie, you'll know the sexual side of apple pie. :evilgrin:

20. Never denied I'm a perv.
American Pie the movie never interested me. But your recommendation might make me think twice.

Still and again, anyone who thinks licking orange juice off their fingers is pervy isn't nearly pervy enough for me.

You must be one of those Johnny Appleseed fetishists!
