"Like comparing apples and oranges"

What's the big deal about not comparing apples and oranges? They're both fruit. Roughly the same size. High in fiber. Taste good juiced.

Yeah, you know what? I'm going to compare apples and oranges if I damn well feel like it, and no one is going to stop me.

I might not comment everyday, but I do laugh almost daily when I stop by.

Mr. Donahue's superbly logical exegesis of this tired cliche moves me to suggest that it be replaced with "like comparing lamb shanks to canoes."

Apples taste better in a crisp.

Plus apples and oranges are both three dimensional.
