There is a kinky picture of a grapefruit in my most recent copy of National Geographic.
It's a pink grapefruit, round and luscious, with a little round bit of peel carved away, wherein you see the soft pink flesh of the grapefruit.

Kind of kinky, if you ask me. I hope Focus on the Family doesn't see this.

For those of us taking Lipitor, grapefruit is the forbidden fruit.

And here you are, tempting us with your lascivious tittilating descriptions of that forbidden temptation.

Why don't you just finish us off by tearing the entire skin off, to reveal the...



moist,...




pink,....




tender,...



juicy flesh...









Augh!!!!!!! :freak:

4. The title of the picture profile is "Forbidden Fruit."
It discusses how furanocoumarins (yes that's a real word) in grapefruit enhance the effects or side-effects of many drugs, making them a no-no for many taking ongoing medications.

So for you it is an especially naughty fruit. ;)

11. Scientific name: Citrus paradisi
The name says it all...

It is a hibrid of Citrus sinensis (the orange)

and Citrus maxima, the Chinese grapefruit:

13. If I follow the accompanying text correctly, you should eat a grapfruit with your hash brownies.
I'd say this info is of major importance.

15. What if you have to have some detal work...
...or if you have an injury (science forbid), and you are given pain killers like Vicodin. A grapefruit might allow the medication to be all that it can be.

17. As long as nobody starts claiming it looks like Jesus
...everybody knows He wasn't a fruit.

Okay, okay, flame on. I deserve it for that one. And I'm a open-minded Christian!!!

18. I have more money on someone taking it to look like Mary.
The luscious fruit of the womb where Jesus grew from immaculate conception. If you look deep inside the fruit you can see Jesus the fetus. :P
