I rarely peel apples, and when I do it is usually Thanksgiving. I frequently prepare the apple pie for this holiday, as it is my favorite kind of pie. Whenever I peel apples, I try to do that continuous peel thing. I have learned from the movies that this is a skill men desire in a wife. (As an aside, it is very interesting how men look for a girl who is “hot” and whom all of their buddies will be jealous of as a girlfriend, but in a wife, they like to be able to say things like, “She can peel an apple in one continuous peel.” Or maybe that’s just Tom Hanks.)
Anyway, since I am afraid of dogs and this is apparently a dealbreaker for my hypothetical future husband who will want 2.4 kids and a golden retriever, I have been working on my apple peeling. I have to tell you this is NOT easy and requires quite a bit more concentration than I possesed at 1.00am Thanksgiving morning when I was making my apple pie. The best I did was about halfway down a relatively small apple, after which I stomped and swore.
Oh well. Maybe next year.

Not to say that I’m different or better than most guys, but I look for apple peeling qualities in a girlfriend and think I’d rather have a wife that is hot. I want to be able to impress my friends by saying how my girl can peel an apple like a god but when it comes to having a wife, you’re stuck with her forever, so I’d rather have a hot one. At least one I think is hot. Know what I mean?

It’s all in the apple peeling, huh?
Must remember that. ;^)
