Little Gray Cat oils her lemons

Home Back to Gray Cat page Back to Humor Page

Gray Cat is clearly concerned about squeaky lemons, so she is oiling them.  Flounder stands by with a bottle of citrus degreaser.

This came about because The Flounder, in exiting Home Depot, saw a huge exhibit of "Citrus Degreaser".  Prior to this, I had not realized that greasy citrus fruit was a problem.  But in thinking about it, I thought about all that "Lemon Oil" that is on sale elsewhere, and realized that citrus, while not normally greasy, might become so if lemon oil is applied.  I don't know why anyone would actually oil a lemon, but my suspicion is that it is probably because unoiled lemons squeak.
