An odd story for odd times.
Benny the apple man was walking downtown one day, giving people apples. He went up to one man and gave him an apple he couldn’t refuse. He said “Let’s be friends, You can have my apple, my last apple, someday I’ll run out and I’ll not be the apple man and I’ll need a friend”.
The man said “Yo, I don’t know.”
And with that the apple man left for twenty years, but after that time he came back and found the man. Handing the man an apple he stated” My last apple, are you now my friend?”
The other man bite down on the apple and asked the first man to marry him. They now live in a condo in the south of France.
Benny the salesman was going door to door selling apple-spice, a dried herb that tastes really good on a pizza. Well he went to a guy selling pizza and said “Are you Herb? I was told the man called Herb had a pizza bar.”
The man with the pizza said one short sentence “Come back when you are at your last apple-spice.”
Twenty years later the apple-spice guy came back and handed the last jar of apple-spice to the guy.
The guy said “Do you know what you did?”
And they moved in together and are a happy couple with three well-adjusted adopted kids.
Benny the music man was playing music in the street. He walked up to one man and asked him how he liked it. The man said that he liked the music very well.
“One day,” said the music man “I’ll run out of breath. I’ll play you the last note and you’ll be my friend.”
The man was undecided but music man said otherwise. He left but came back twenty years later.
“Sir,” he said breathlessly, “my last note.” And with that he played a note that would rock your socks off.
They now live together in Barbados.
