Transcript:
Petey: My mom keeps trying to sneak things into my lunch. Strange things. Unfamiliar things. Ernesto: Blue-ringed octopi? Oil-bearing shale? Higgs bosons? Petey: No. Putative food items. Look at that! It's fruit, isn't it? Ernesto: Don't ask me. I'm a strict carnivore.

When I was about 2, my parents say I tried the wax apple from the arrangement on my grandparents’ coffee table.
Gonna have to Google “higgs bosons”

“The Higgs boson is a hypothetical massive scalar elementary particle predicted to exist by the Standard Model in particle physics.”
Them thar’s good eatin’!

Don’t eat it Petey. Put it on your teacher’s desk instead.

An apple a day keeps the Higgs Bosons away.

My son worked on an apple farm for a couple seasons, now he won’t even look at them in the store

At least apples are fairly straightforward. Imagine if she’d snuck in a more complicated fruit, like a pomegranate.
mrsullenbeauty almost 15 years ago
That thing reeks of alar and Petey can sense it.
fritzoid Premium Member almost 15 years ago
I imagine Petey could cope with an apple, provided it was peeled, cored, and sectioned beforehand.

Be careful, Higgs bosons are GUARANTEED to make you put on weight!!

@fritzoid; the apple slices would also need to be soaked in some lemon juice to keep them from turning brown.
Butr we won’t tell Petey about the lemon juice, or he won’t eat the apple because it is two diferent foods that have [gasp!] touched each other!
