    “Aphorism” – seems like a pretty “fancy” word to use …

    Is it meant to impress (show off?) or to confuse?

    In fact the whole first part of it " an aphorism whose validity …" sounds pretty “highfalutin”.

    How about sharing a pint or two of apple-jack with the doctor?

    An apple will keep anyone away if you throw it hard enough.

    You can try garlic, too. It’ll keep vampires away, at least.

    If I throw apples at the doctor, how will I make apple pie?

    Now let me see. H-m-m-m apples repel doctors, garlic repels vampires, onions repel kisses, collards repel lots of us, taxes repel all of us, But chocolate? It repels the blues.

    The doctor said you will need to have your Apple removed. (He needs a new Mercedes)

    Not a very persistent doctor, then. One apple-dodge, then he and nurse can, with impunity, grab and jab.

    Consider this, if you will ladies and gentlemen, a perfect apple doesn’t exist in nature unless it’s sprayed with pesticides. MMMM good. Also, I read grocery apples have been stored up to 48 months.

    It’s been years since we last saw The Book of Phrases. Up until now, it’s always been Wiley’s Dictionary.

    A GoComics a day keeps the doctor away, and the commitment papers as well…

    Even as fad diets go, an apple a day seems rather extreme.
