My main concern was the apple. The awkward looking fruity entity obviously had no significant function, thus prohibiting me from simply pushing a button and getting the proper response. It had long before occured to me the similarity it bore with a tennis ball, and I had been afraid that I had misinterpreted it's basic nature. Such are the breaks in this world, I gather.

Obviously, it would be a safer road to bite into it and risk dental resistence than to smash it with a racket and risk painting the walls with freshly maimed apple guts.

Looking back, I just wish the sinister clown had not been watching...
