On pears: ”They’re ripe for half an hour, and you’re never there. They’re like a rock or they’re mush. You think, I’ll take them home and they’ll ripen up. But you put them in the bowl at home, and they sit there going: No! No! Don’t ripen yet, don’t ripen yet. Wait til he goes out the room. Now ripen! Now now now!”
Eddie Izzard, British Comedian- quote found here
