Day 14... testing proverbs



Day 14... Today i was encouraged to pick a proverb or ( old wives tale) and test its truthfullness... For example "the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence"  i could test the accuracy of this proverb by finding a fence with grass at either side and closely monitoring the shade of grass that came from both  sides of the fence.
Thus rendering the above statement truth or imaginative but sadly innacurate...

O.K i was a little pressed for time today and really didnt have the luxury of walking in the coutryside, fence spotting, or to set off cake buying to see if i could in fact have my cake and eat it,  also as im generally away when my cat is, i have no real way of guaging wether the mice play, however there is/was one theory i could test simply and effectively.

 Does an apple a day keep the doctor away??... well  i had an apple (granny smiths if youre interested) in the kitchen,... and have been feeling prety ruff for a good number of weeks now, so i thought ideal oppertunity.. im unsure as to how many days one should consume apples before the desired affect comes to fruition, but then i thought... well surely the statement leads one to believe that the apple is the reason the doctor is not required, and so, one apple on one day , should be enought to keep you fighting fit and in no need of the doctor on that day...

So feeling ruff i tucked into the apple.. crunch by crunch wondering if this bite would cure my mystery ailment, the result disapointingly... it didnt  apple consumed  and i could stil do with a trip to the  doctor.


conclusion  " an apple a day keeps the doctor away"  - inacurate... tho it was a mighty fine apple.
