Isaac Newton Had It Easy....

Yesterday morning I got up early and decided to start my day with a glass of FRESH juice.

(recently I purchased the Jack LaLaine Power Juicer after having watched Jack, at the age of 91, drag a deluxe-sized bus behind his tiny body as part of his info-mercial....Which is direct proof as to why Bruce should NOT leave me home alone for any longer than a week at a time lest I get involved in "depression-spending")

Into the juicer I tossed carrots, ginger and apples. Yummy!

Juicers come with rules though...

1. NO LOOKING INTO THE VEGETABLE SHOOT

...this is the MOST important rule. There are fast moving parts in there, attacking and pulverizing you veggies. Looking into the shoot is asking for a flying chunk of veggie to take one of your eyes out. I NEVER look into the shoot, and yesterday I was grateful that I observe this rule religiously.

I tossed in two chunks of apple - and immediately a bit of apple and a few seeds flew right back out of the shoot, a seed even hitting me in the forehead before I could get the shoot plug in place to push the apples to their doom. I counted myself lucky for not having lost an eye and went about my morning, enjoying my fresh juice, and promptly forgetting ALL about the apple incident.

The time came to get ready for the rest of my day. Imagine my shock and confusion when I stepped into the bathroom, looked into the mirror and discovered a trickle of DRIED BLOOD running down my forehead from my hair-line!!! How could this have happened?! I was truly startled until I also noticed several large chunks of apple caught in my freshly washed hair!

Let this be a lesson the the juicers of the world: APPLES FIGHT BACK!
