What's up, doc?
I've never been a big carrot eater. I know, I know -- I should eat them more. They are a great source of beta carotene, yadda yadda yadda.
Anyway, I'm not crazy about carrots.
And for this reason, I've always been amused at the so-called "carrot-and-stick" approach to diplomacy, which assumes you can lure someone to your side with carrots.

I think it has to do with luring mules, who are known to be stubborn. They're also so stupid that they'll keep walking toward the carrot, thinking each step brings them closer. I think.
Still, that's a funny post.
Good explanation, thanks. But mules, presumably, like carrots.
