    I get it, I’m also confused that not even the vine thing was enough to clue a bunch of people in this thread in.

    It’s just some light-hearted trolling. Pretty sad that the dude gets so much hate for something so harmless.

      what’s the joke?

      Edit:

      ok i read his explanation. so it was a joke to him. not to anyone else. i guess i can respect that, even though i don’t see the likeness without peels either.

          So you really think that he believes that both apples and potatos grow on vines. Wow.

                  Which isn’t the case here.

                  “lying” means “saying something that you know is untrue with the goal of deceiving someone into believing it”

                  You can lie as a mean joke on someone’s expense (haha look at that idiot believing my lie)

                  But if you don’t actually intend to deceive someone beyond the end of your joke, you’re not lying. You’re joking.
