Many years ago there was a very rich man who loved apples. He loved them so much that he went to Michigan State University?s Agriculture Department and told them he would bequeath one million dollars if they could come up with the perfect apple tree.
Several years went by and finally the University called the man and announced that they had developed the perfect apple tree. Excitedly he hurried to the school and was taken to an orchard to see ?his? tree. It was perfect. It was perfectly shaped with dark green leaves. There wasn?t a bare spot on the tree and it was loaded with the most beautiful bright red apples the man had ever seen.
He ran up to the tree and exclaimed, ?I can?t wait to taste one of these apples!?. ?OH NO! You can?t eat the fruit, it tastes terrible? the University horticulturalist told him. Indignantly the rich man asked why. ?You said you wanted the perfect tree. You didn?t say anything about the fruit? was the reply.
Please - no MSU jokes.
