I step on the elevator at the end of the day. I am holding my uneaten apple. The apple that I took to work this morning. The apple that was going to instantly make me incredibly healthy. The apple that would positively change my life. The apple that would keep all doctors away. The apple that would bring world peace.
I am holding that apple as I step on the elevator.
I look at the guy already in the elevator. I look down at his hands. He is holding an uneaten banana.
I look back up at him.
He gestures politely with his banana-hand.
We nod.
We get each other. We are instantly friends.
And then?
And then my ally, my fruit-in-the-elevator friend actually peels his banana, raises it to his mouth and takes a bite.
The hell?
Instantly he switched teams and instantly I am making the walk of shame back to my car alone.
What was that nod all about anyway?
