…..or you can’t keep the doctor away.

An apple a day may keep the doctor away, but an onion a day will keep everyone away.

If everyone ate an apple a day, I guess we wouldn’t need doctors. So they say.

He drinks his apple a day Jack.

Hmm…Doc Holliday, branched out from dentistry?

“An apple a day keeps the doctor away.”

Is that why they no longer make house calls?

Or you could switch to oranges. There’s no comparison.

Then you won’t have to keep seeing him.

From Wikipedia: “John Henry Holliday better known as Doc Holliday, was an American dentist, gambler, and gunfighter who was a close friend and associate of lawman Wyatt Earp,”

The price of apples would be a lot higher.

The real Doc Holiday (Wyatt Earp friend) was a dentist.

So if you ate 10 apples a day you could keep 10 doctors away!!

It’s like Dentists, that give kids lollypops after their exams.

I wonder what sort of bird the Doc represents. Next to him, Cosmo—an osprey—looks (relatively) small.
