"Why does the pineapple have claws?"

"The better to eat you."

(Pineapple contains the enzyme bromelain. It breaks down proteins and it's an excellent meat tenderizer. It's also what makes your mouth tingle, burn and maybe even bleed. This is because bromelain is trying to break down the proteins in your mouth, so when you eat pineapple, it's pretty eating you back.)

I always say "tastes like burning!" when I eat pineapple. It doesn't; it's a funny quote from The Simpsons and it makes my wife laugh.
