When we think that a comparison of two items is not valid, we say that it is like comparing apples to oranges. Well, let's see...
They are both fruits
They are both roundish
They are both sweet
They both have peels
They both enclose seeds
They both grow on trees
They both are picked ripe
They both store well
They both can be used in salads or desserts
They both can be eaten out of hand
They both can be squeezed for juice
They both can be made into spreads for bread
Hmmm, maybe that is really not such a good analogy after all. Maybe we should say, something like...apples to coconuts?
