AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

   Not a day goes by...
   Two from the Dow Jones news database.

   New York got it's (sic) Big Apple nickname from former financiers, who resorted to selling apples during the Great Depression--dressed in their full suits.  The charade became known as the Big Apple scam.

   Think of the New York (sic) with its "Big Apple" tag.  It arose by accident when a brothel keeper changed her name from Evelyn to Eve and her ladies were named "Eve's Apples."  The Apple Marketing Board then sanitised it with "An apple a day..." and New York got an appealing nickname known round the world.  No government got near the origins of that one, you can be sure.
