Do I dare, and do I dare?

Perhaps this man is suffering the effects of a drive by fruiting by Mrs. Doubtfire. Or maybe as a small child, there was a scary clown at a birthday party called Peaches the Clown. Just some thoughts.

I too am a proud botonophobiac. Every time I see a gooseberry, I grab my privates and start whistling "Harper Valley P.T.A."

Shawn should just whisper in Maury's ear how an older China-peach named Connie has been helping him cure his phobia.

Millions of peaches, peaches for me
millions of peaches, peaches for free..

Peaches come in a can, they were put there by a man
in a factory...downtown
(Presidents of the United States)

This is hilarious, but it might be real.

Makes me think of the Dudley Moore/Peter Cook sketch, "Frog a la Peche":

"Where can a young couple go - not much money- for a very large frog and a damn fine peach?"

Maury??? Ye godz, man. I thought we were talking T.S. Eliot. Sic transit, Gloria :)

He's definitely not afraid of McDonalds, et al.

Notes to self: Don't develop a phobia someone might find funny. Failing that, don't go on TV to talk about it. But if you must, try "Nova" or something; stay away from Maury Povich.

Maury: Scumbaggus in Extremis.

I know someone who has to leave the room when someone else is eating a popsicle; it's the sound of the icy treat on the teeth. Fear and disgust are powerful forces, irrational and out of proportion to actual danger.

Sorry to be a spoilsport, but if that guy's for real, this is all kind of cruel.

I have an irrational fear of peaches too, no joke! I never tell anyone this (for obvious reasons) but I have to back this guy up. I can't think of anything else, food or otherwise, that makes me cringe like the thought of eating a peach. They absolutely disgust and horrify me. I never thought my coming out would be on the internet, in defense of a guy who willingly went on Maury but there you have it.
