Those damn lemon stealing whores.

The stork, or whatever, is about to punch him in the dick
I don’t get it, but this dude was really into lemons.
So let me get this straight… if you want to hand someone a lemon, you need to give it to a stork to give it to a naked fairy who will give it to them.
we still have a couple of lemon giving phrases that survive “when life gives you lemons”. “looks like that car you bought is a lemon”
lemons are sour instead of sweet like most fruit. my guess is that a lemon is a thing to generally make your day/life worse, especially if it seemed like a good thing at first.
makes sense in the context of a “confirmed bachelor”. he’s giving that lemon to a stork. he’s not going to have children. someone married him and he’s not going to have children. back in the day that would be seen as defeating the point of marriage, though the real implication is he’s gay and married for a beard.
in the context of other relationships or a breakup they thought they were dating someone for keeps, turns out they weren’t worth it. they were a lemon, looked sweet but tasted sour when bitten into.
A little context here: https://www.theparisreview.org/blog/2020/02/13/how-to-leave-your-lover-with-lemons/
It seems to be some kind “fuck you, I’m breaking up” signal…
Weird. A massive pop culture trend that fell off the end of the Earth.
Okay, now I’m confused again, because there’s no way this is a gay couple.
He’s a “confirmed bachelor.” No woman will get anything but a lemon from him.
