THIS IS SO TRUE, WILLIAM...WE ARE THE 'OAKS' IN THIS WORLD AND WE MUST STRIVE NOT TO BE 'ILL OAKS'. FOR SICK OAKS FEED 'CONTAMINATED NUTS' TO OTHERS...CAUSING THEM TO DIE...IN ONE WAY OR THE OTHER. I LOVED THIS METAPHOR, WILLIAM...WELL DONE! THANKS FOR SHARING. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS

Jerry's philosophical conundrum aside, this one puts a fresh face on an age-old enigma: when is acorn not a corn? And of course, the answer is when it's a corny line -- that'll kill you!

Sick jokes aside, William... this is one pithy, plaintive parable.

A powerful message about survival. While for most, it is pure chance, there are those that benefit generations. I like it.

Reminds me of the legal term "fruit from the poisoned tree"
But you know somehow wild animals know what not to eat, unlike their human counterparts.
