Comparing apples to oranges

And “Apples and Oranges” is…well, just listen:

Contrast implies an a priori assumption that they’re different. Compare implies no prior assumptions.

Which is why so many exam questions in my schooldays began “Compare and contrast…”

Contrast is the dark side of compare.

Oranges are rounder than apples.

Interesting fact: if the Earth were the size of an orange, it would taste terrible.

Hey, this is MPSIMS! Save that sort of language for the Pit!

Eek!!

Ork!!!

Auk! Auk!

:musical_note: That means, “I love you!” :notes:

Apology accepted. Just don’t go monkeying - wait, no no no no no, I’m sorry, I wasn’t calling you a monkey!! Oh, shit!!
