Apple Computer, Having Recently Won A Suit Brought By Apple Rrecords, The Company Founded By The Beatles, Was Surprised To Find Itself Immediately Dragged Back Into Court To Face A Challenge By An Incensed New York Apple Farmer.What Do These Boys Mean, The Farmer Went On, Claiming They Own A Picture Of An Apple With A Bite Out Of It? Gesturing To His Acres Of Apple Blossoms, He Continued, My Father Started This Here Apple Orchard Over A Hundred Years Ago, And Weve Had A Picture Of An Apple With A Bite Out Of It On The Side Of Our Roadside Farm Stand For Nigh Onto Seventy-five Years. As Far As Im Concerned, These Silicon Valley Slickers Have Infringed On My Copyright And On The Rights Of Apple Growers Everywhere.Apple CEO Steve Jobs Responded, I Hope We Can Put This Suit Behind Us, Because Weve Always Loved Apple Farmers. In All Honesty, I Admit We Didnt Invent An Apple With A Bite Taken Out Of It. Its One Of Our Least Original Ideas. Thats Why We Always Have To Defend It. If I Had It To Do Over Again, I Would Have Picked A More Unusual Fruit, Like A Kiwi Or Maybe A Start Fruit.The Farmer Was Not Pacified, Insisting, When I Get Done With These Cagy Fellers, Theyll Be Sorry They Ever Set Eyes On An Apple.
