Pears?

This morning I was (as usual) listening to Bill Bennett's Morning in America. At one point, his wife essentially took over the show. It reminded me of something I saw in the Lexington Market in Baltimore. I was there shopping for pears one day when I saw a little sticker on one brand of pears. The sticker read "Ripe when yields to gentle pressure." I thought, that isn't the definition of a good pear, but the definition of a good husband!

This morning, Bill was ripe.
