  2. I thought fruit, like apples, stopped Scurvy?

  3. Out on the campaign trail with your friend, the governor? Or, is this supposed to imply Madigan is your buddy on the campaign trail? I’m so confused.

  9. Willy, an apple only contains about 9% of the RDA of the vitamin C needed to stave off Scurvy. Citrus fruits are much better at it.

    If you’re thinking, this guy knows way too much about the nutritional value of fruit, you’re right. Having a heart attack before my 48th birthday was a game changer.

  18. GUE+1… and as Honeybear surely knows, the crew of any English ship of the line was fed citrus, especially limes, to ward off the scurvy. And from that, English sailors (or now English folk in general) are known as limeys.
