There's a metaphor in here somewhere:

Mike likes to eat apples and bananas.
Quick quiz: who goes together more? These two:
or these two:
Let's face it. Mike likes to eat anything. But in his most recent mikeaststoomuch blog, Mike has a problem most aptly described in the following metaphor:
Mike's hungry for a banana, but can only find an apple. Now nothing's wrong with apples. I've seen Mike eat them by the barrelful. But let's face it, when you're used to having a banana around when you want one, it's hard to be enthusiastic about the harder, more fibrous apple.
I have also been struggling to find that special someone who will just wander around aimlessly with me for hours, ignore me, and occasionally harangue or beat me. While I've met plenty of people willing to do at least one of the list, particularly the latter three, the quadruple punch is a rare and lucky find.
We could keep trying to replace one another with inferior substitutes, but that seems like more effort put forth than is customary from either of us. I guess what both Mike and I need to learn is that, in the end, too much apples or bananas gives you diarrhea.
