When you've never picked apples before...

Someone sent me this picture.  I said... Trees don't bend like that?  They said "That's not the point." Well, don't blame me when it all goes Wuthering Heights.  How come the right side of the tree has less apples in the first three drawings but more in the 4th?  Why is neither person maintaining three points of contact? And why is no one holding the ladder? It's Heath & Safety gone mad.  I'm all for promoting social justice... but this is bordering on science fiction.  You have to wonder if any of these people have  ever worked in an orchard ...

You need one of these if you don't want to be there forever ...
