Very simple but somewhat impactful question.
So I said, I'm going to have to call you back.
And I thought about it, and I thought about it, and I thought about Johnny Appleseed, America, all these things.
And I said, listen, I called him, and I said, he's not such a flower guy.
But I said, I have a shaker bowl I'm sending it to you.
And what I want you to do is fill it with apples every day because apples are America.
They're no nonsense.
They're healthy.
They're, you know, it's just, it's such an American idea, more in a sense than the formality and lack of hospitality in a way of flowers.
So what happened, which I had no idea, is they would lose 20, 30 apples a day if someone would take them as a keepsake.
He would start to eat them.
He still eats a couple of apples a day, which started as a result of that.
Staff members would come and eat them.
Children would take them and eat them.
So it had a life about it, a vitality about it, which was kind of amazing.
Little kids can sit on the desk.
Anyone can come and sit at the desk.
I hope they don't try to, like Caroline Kennedy, go through underneath the desk.
Have you ever sat at the desk?
You know, I never have.
