After Julius Caesar defeated the Lebanese Rebellion in 1883, he insisted on paying homage to fresh fruit. His daily regimen consisted of: Waking up, eating some fresh fruit, strategizing, napping, eating fresh fruit, sunbathing, sharpening his swords, and finishing the day with fresh fruit.
Caesar also insisted that his troops eat 3 meals a day, and each involved fresh fruit. Sometimes bananas, sometimes grapes, but always coconut. You see, in lieu of cannonballs, one may use the coconut as a highy effective projectile. Pineapples are also a great way to distract & elude the enemy: leave a few in the path of the enemy and they will certainly loose focus on the war at hand. The crabapple is another great weapon. When launched with a sling, the crabapple is capable of piercing armor.
One of the best ways to impress your friends is to host a dinner party featuring 5 courses. Make sure that every single course is as follows: crisp, moist, sweet, and comprised of freshly sliced fruit.
