It’s not easy being green.

“Avoid the green ones. They’re not ripe yet.”

- Otto; A Fish Called Wanda

It’s our job to eat them just as they become ripe, so they don’t rot.

Wealth expires and loses value over time.

Money does the opposite.

This may cause problems in any currency-based economy.

Then again, it may be designed to.

Fried Green Tomatoes.

Even though he was a multi-millionaire entrepreneur, Ray Kroc was actually something of a socialist. He offered a basic, very inexpensive, consistent product that was within the means of pretty much everybody. The only problem was (is?) that you wouldn’t want to live on a steady diet of his fare, for reasons of health and (lack of) variety.

Finally I am ripe and ready for the picking. Getting here was a bitch. Enjoy the ride. Who said getting old was a drag?

Using your knuckles, rap on the middle of the frog while holding it up to your ear, or flick it with your finger (like flicking a crumb off your shirt). A ripe frog will have a hollow sound when knocked, which sounds more like a ‘plunk’ than a ‘thwack’. An unripe frog will have more of a higher pitched sound, while an overripe one will make a ‘thud’ or a lower-pitched sound.

Assuming, of course, that frogs are like watermelons.

Boiled Okra.

Wishbone Ash

Just before rotten and you are perfect for banana bread.

My name is Crabby Appleton, I’m rotten to the core…

Steamed Asparagus.

Turnip Greens

Au contraire! When my deli meats turn green, then they rot: it is time to throw them out!

Maybe you’re just frog-focussed?

Shaved Kiwi.

…the fruit, not the bird.
