A Presidential Apple

Mr. President, a new variety of apple you found at the supermarket was very different from all the other apples that you were accustomed to.  So you thought, “What the hell, I’ll give it a try."

You bought it, brought it home, and prominently placed it in your best white fruit bowl.

Mostly green with a slight golden tinge near the stem, you waited for it to ripen a little more, wanting it to become more "Apple-like", more "Presidential".

The golden top swiftly mutated into a dull orange hue, and the otherwise shiny outer surface faded into a not-so-brilliant green.

Finally, the time came to test the apple. You pierced its skin and, slicing into it, discovered that it was rotten the day you bought it.
