Probably more for his amusement than the value of the fruit. Though I will say I found a tree that bore thin skinned nuts and watched deer eat those nuts. Go figure. As for the pistacios. I have some folk in mind. Let's just say they are the best models of Christ followers, who for their dying commetment to Him and their lifestyle to boot, prove sometimes too much for the mixed bowl. Just to much like Him. Yet God has scattered them throughout the land and in His Churches and I see many in blogville too.- At times you look a little green yourself! Geoff,

Chris,
Where I come from only squirrels eat hickory nuts (or as my Pappy used to say, “hickernuts”). Do people really eat them?

Bernard,
What do the “elephants” in your scenario illustrate?

Chris,
Who do the pistachios represent? Our academics, perhaps?

They too have lost mixed bowl appeal. They are costly and presented without mixture. They are salty, refreshing electro-lights and stinging open wounds. They are a funny green color, repulsing the world, but refreshing those who love them. And most of all they are packed full of life giving protein!!! I’d like to have a bunch of them. But too many cause high blood pressure, not to mention tremendous lower intestinal therapy, if you know what I mean. ;’) Chris And what of the pistachios? They too have lost mixed bowl appeal.

I am a Macadamia nut. We are round and grow only in exotic countries. I am round and from exotic West Texas,now living in the exotic country of Louisiana. We have no other distinguishing qualities, except that we usually cost more than the other nuts. Oh, we go well with white chocolate, too, in those big cookies. Oh, and most people love us. Yep, that's me: from a strange land, round, expensive taste, I go well with white chocolate, and I (just like Sally Field at the Oscars) am loved by many. :) Sorry, I just got carried away. Great post. Geoff,
