her intelligence ranks right there alongside a hedge apple...
As a kid, I used to go walking on our old country road
where hedge apples grew; and I used to think that surely
they must have some sort of use. They got run over and
smushed . . YUK! So far, haven’t heard of a use for them.
These days, no way my folks would allow me to walk on
those roads for fear of hooligans & worse traffic now.
