This is a hilarious sketch broadcasted last December on BBC.
Senior comedians Harry Enfield (who has just turned 80) and Ronnie Corbet delightfully take on the tech industry's obsession with fruit, and throw in Windows and Microsoft jokes for good measure.
BBC one's The One Ronnie comedy sketch show successfully combines old men, food and technology puns in an impressively effective way.
Enjoy!

Are wi-fi hotspots reliable?
Do you connect yourselves to various wi-fi hotspots? If so, you should read and watch the following article from the BBC.
Fake wi-fi 'steals data and numbers from smartphones'
23 November 2010 Last updated at 06:58 GMT
A fake wi-fi hotspot run by criminals could allow them to steal passwords and log into social networking sites.
Tom Beale from security firm Vigilante Bespoke shows the BBC's Rory Cellan-Jones how easily data can be stolen from a smartphone.
Facebook has responded by saying it advises people to be careful with what data they give out to unknown networks, "in the same way we look to draw out cash from legitimate ATM (cashpoint) machines".
It also pointed out that it asks members whether they want to give Facebook access to contacts stored by email providers before downloading such information from other organisations.
Apple has responded to the way that the latest iPhone is unlocked in this video, by saying that a recent update can be downloaded to prevent this.

Facebook nightmare
A 14-year-old girl from Hertfordshire who included her address on a Facebook invitation to her party was alarmed when 21,000 said they would be coming.
The party was cancelled when the school pupil was swamped by RSVPs from unwanted would-be guests on the social networking site.
The girl, from Harpenden, had reportedly only intended to invite 15 friends to her 15th birthday party.
Police said officers would patrol the area on the day of the planned party.
Although the original invitation was removed from the site, a new version was visible to all Facebook users on Monday.
The event was not created by the girl herself but her address was again posted on the site for all to see and 19 people had confirmed their attendance.
The incident follows criticism of Facebook's privacy settings, with concerns being raised that they are too complicated.
A spokeswoman stressed that the privacy settings available for events created on the site are separate to those for users' profiles, on which they post information about themselves.
