Question #8 (Thanks Bruce)

The fruit of this species was wrote about by Shakespeare, Cervantes, and Chaucer who compared man to the fruit by saying "Until we're rotten, we cannot be ripe."

Dekker went further and said that women were like the fruit of this plant, "no sooner ripe but rotten"

Hint: No other fruit has been compared to an arse as much as this one.





Good luck

Will
