Ladies of the Apple

 

Spine and Skull


"No! Please, No!!! Not another apple! Somebody stop them!...Help!...Mmffff!"
In 1845 Griselda "Granny" Smith coined the adage, "An apple a day keeps the doctor away," opening the floodgates of misguided kindness across the Civilised World.
One notoriously deluded group of philanthropic women with nothing better to do, calling themselves The Fair Ladies Of The Apple, struck terror into the hearts of sick people wherever they made an appearance.
Taking the adage to its illogical extreme, their philosophy was, "You can never have too many apples," and with ruinous kindheartedness they would force-feed apples to the lame and the infirm.
Ninety-seven percent died.
