They say you can't do this

Apples are roundish. They come in many colors like yellow, red and green. They are in the rose family. They grow on trees.

Oranges are roundish. They come in many colors like orange, yellow and red. They are in the citrus family. They grow on trees. In many languages it is referred to as the "Chinese apple."

I've always hated the phrase "That's like comparing apples and oranges" for comparing two very different things because apples and oranges are very similar things.

I want to start a movement to start a new phrase to replace it that is more accurate like "That's like comparing Ex-lax and wombats."

apples, weird, oranges
