Transcript

The halls of Ivy starring Mr. and Mrs. Ronald Coleman. Good evening, this is Ronald Coleman. Anita Coleman. Inviting you to join us again on the campus of Ivy College. That's a wrap. Nothing is orderly till man takes hold of him.

Everything in creation lies around loose. Now, with the President of any university, there are a lot of loose ends in any normal week. But Dr. William Todd under Hall, President of Ivy, is enjoying the abnormal satisfaction of having everything in apple pie order.

a triumph which is celebrating with his wife Victoria, as he tops off his luncheon with, of all things, some apple pie. Most people say apple pie order because there's something so neat and finished looking about well.

And with neat until you see it and then it's soon finished. Well, Ricky, I'm afraid you and apple pie are my two great weaknesses. Neither failing for sweetness or neatness. However, the origin of apple pie order seems to be obscure, even mithford Matthews in his monumental dictionary of Americanism says, passed it by.

He mentions the apple pandaldi. I love that apple pandaldi. But you know, her references to the apple are not confined to us all our times. Take the classics, hurt you leaves, sort the golden apples of the hisperides for their immortality giving qualities.

the apple of discord led to the Homeric Trojan War. Isaac Newton was quite struck with one too, can't on the beam. Yeah. Yeah. Then I doubted Mr. Newton's audit funny. He was too involved with the gravity of the situation.

Oh. Oh, indeed. Yeah. Anyway, the classic references to the apple are two frequent dimensions. The tomato was once called the love apple. You are the apple of my eye. And, uh, oh please credit me with enough restraint to avoid the cliche about an apple a day keeps the etcetera.
