Okay, your point taken, too.  And I will admit, not all unhappy fruit was 
so flagrantly dispatched.  Often it was accepted pleasantly then spirited 
away and dumped in a nearby river or something.

Also, I might have given a wrong impression; we tended to get the fruit 
in the traditional way; only our methods of disposal were unconventional.

Yours in clarity,
