Beware of Fresh Fruit

What ever you do, do not put the lime in the coconut:
A chef was stunned to find she was almost banned from buying two limes from a supermarket - because they could be classed as a weapon.
Marisa Zoccolan, 31, popped into the new Asda supermarket close to her home in Wallsend, North Tyneside, to pick up some groceries, including the citrus fruits.
But when she tried to pay for them at the self-service checkout, the message 'amount exceeded, authorisation required' flashed up.
An assistant then came over and told her that more than one lime was deemed a weapon - because the citric acid could be squirted in someone's eye.
While this is humorous, it seems clear that this is a simple case of a product being mislabeled in the computer. The worker was having a little joke I am sure.
But we do need to remember the dangers of fresh fruit, Monty Python makes this danger clear for us.
