    It’s not, “an apple a day keeps the doctorr away.”

    It’s supposed to be, “an apple a day keeps the doctorr at bay.

    Doctorrs are actually a type of fae creature. They hunger for your bones. But if you offer them an apple, they’ll be obliged to accept, and now that they’ve accepted your hospitality, it would be positively gauche to eat you. And since they feast on bones, they’re actually excellent at diagnosing and treating many types of ailments!

    It’s such a shame how much we’ve forgotten.
