Thursday’s Responses

Hit the apple with a pithy one-liner on the issue written on it and win a prize. Please make it short and to the point.

Responses will be published daily and winners named every Friday.

Try to spare the head on which the apple rests but if readers really want to do otherwise, so be it. But, we reserve the right to edit responses to keep them within the confines of decency and the law.

Entries may be sent to
