'Tis nothing!  I know a chap in Bulgaria who sticks sticky labels on 
each apricot while they are still green and hanging on the tree with
their predicted dates of ripening.

Presumably on the appointed dates he lies under the trees with his mouth 
open waiting for the fruit to drop.

Dunno why, but it reminds me of declaring variables miles and miles away 
from where they are used.  :)
