Please describe how you could take the peel off an apple all in one go:
Drop it in boiling water for a few seconds, then cut at the top and spiral my way to the bottom, slow. It'd be a long spindly strip, and I'd hold it up like a snake that crawled over two insulators in the power plant and electrocuted itself, plunging the town into darkness for an hour.
