Maple Nuts

So while at her baby shower this past weekend, a discussion around the smell of Amy's friend's purse came up.  The purse in question distinctly smelt of maple syrup.  So the following paraphrased conversation continued:

Owner of the Purse: Is maple syrup made of Phenu Greek?

Amy: No, it's made of maples

Everyone: oh...

Friend: Amy can you expound on that... [as she smiles]

Amy: It's a nut that grows on maple trees

[moment of silence]

Unanimous Friend: I'm pretty sure it comes from the tree trunk, from the sap.

Ahhh, maple nuts!
