A comparison of the usufructables of Western Canada and Sweden

On a trip through a neighborhood near campus I observed a sorrowful sight: a majestic tree with offerings unwanted. I, with naught but compassion in my heart (and dare I say a hunger 6 inches below) came back the very next day with a proposition to the owner of the tree.

"Hi. Would you mind if I picked up the apples on the ground?"

I returned to my dorm with a backpack full of half-rotted, worm-eaten, delicious fruit.

My belly size being a limiting factor in this equation, I decided to process these apples into applesauce. I finally succeeded in convincing my RA (room advisor) to check out the kitchen key from the front desk and let me use the stove. A jar of applesauce provided enough palm-grease.

  1. Six inches below the womanly heart, so find we...Spleen, seat of courage, whence the tyrant who thereon sitteth orders his underlings to pluck up the rosy fruits and process them righteously!
