It bugs me when people say that comparing two dissimilar things is like comparing apples and oranges. They are not very dissimilar at all. Let me count the ways.
- both are fruits
- both are basically round
- both grow on trees
- orange and red are actually pretty close on the visual spectrum
- both have seeds
- both grow in orchards
- juice from both is commonly available, and usually in the same places
- they weigh about the same
- ... need I go on?
Me? I prefer comparing apples and dumptrucks, or parking meters and black holes.
