Epiphany in Fruit.

I was walking past a fruit shop today when I experienced a revelation. ‘Plum’ is an anagram of ‘lump’, so if you were to put a plum in your pocket and somebody asked ‘Do tell me, what is that unseemly protuberance?’ you could answer: ‘It’s a plum’ or ‘It’s a lump’ and they would both be correct. Isn’t it wonderful when the intricacies of life and language offer you fascinating alternatives?

And thank heaven for silly posts, I say.
