Whats wrong with the shape of the Pear?

Who decided that pear shaped was a bad thing? 'Oh no, things have gone pear shaped'. What is so wrong with a shape of a pear? Is this a reference to a woman who is pear shaped and by that are we implying that a pear shaped woman is less than ideal? OR is this simply a dig at a fruit that is just quietly getting on with the job of being a fruit. As if the pear doesnt have enough to worry about. It damages more easily than an apple, doesnt have the bright shiny glow of an orange or the cooky shape of a banana. But what about the banana. Yellow and long and bent. It is like every banana you ever see is broken. Why dont we refer to things as having gone banana shaped? I'll tell you why. Becasue we like bananas better. Bananas are cooler. If you were a fruit in town for a night and your friend gave you the phone numbers of two fruit he knew, to take you out and show you a good time. A banana and a pear, you would probably phone the banana cause you would figure the banana would be way more up for it than the boring old pear. Boring yes but dependable? For sure. The pear is the kind of fruit your grandma reached for for when she was baking.The pear was a classy fruit back in the day. Not now though. Kids like the interactiveness of bananas an oranges. They come in their own packaging. You rip it off and eat the yummy stuff inside. Apples wouldnt still be so cool if it wasnt for the Beatles and the computers. You can peel an apple but it is harder to peel a pear. Especially a soft pear and they go soft real quick. OK, so the pear is struggling to keep up in the modern age. But does running it down with terms like 'pear shaped' really help?
