Well, Bubba, I suppose a redneck hillbilly wouldn't understand why most would find putting a tomato in a fruit salad might be unpalatable so it would be pointless to explain it.
You made me go look at fruit salad recipes. Tomato just wouldn't work.
Maybe I should change my quote to Hanlon's razor:
"Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity"
What I have found though is some people just are malicious and they don't like being called stupid. See..I try to not be antagonistic and thought the tomato thing was less triggering.
Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
