A colour photo of an orange with a green apple behind it (Wikimedia Commons). The orange has big cartoon eyes and a goofy expression, the apple has emoji eyes, a straight monobrow, and an irritated expression. The orange is saying “We’re both edible?”. The apple is thinking “We’re both fruit, dumbass.”. Apples and oranges: not alike in most ways!

Gotta give the ladies props for still being popular 200+ yrs later, though.
