"it's just a few bad apples"

That's only half the saying. It is used most of the time as if the full thing is "a few bad apples aren't a problem because the rest are fine" rather than the real thing "a few bad apples spoil the lot."

But that isn't the context that phrase is normally used in. That phrase is more like a euphemism for "I'm an asshole, but want it to sound like I'm not"

Yes, that's why if you don't have cancer it is dangerous (to the quarters it family members). If you do have cancer, you are going from having cancer to a slightly higher than average risk of a different cancer in the future. It's worth getting treated.

I was rear ended while waiting to make a left turn on a rural highway. We got out and look at the car behind us. The windshield is completely splattered in red. It was two guys eating chips and a bowl of salsa.

I was just in Japan a couple weeks ago. Kyoto was incredibly crowded at the tourist spots, but it was the peak of cherry blossoms so I expected it to be crowded. I didn't meet a single unfriendly person while we were there, it's definitely worth it.

I still do that whenever I go up the stairs

It sounds weird, but the best I've found is running. When I'm in running season, I tend not to get back spasms, and if I do they are mild and only last a day or two. In the winter when I don't run, a back spasm hurts like hell for a week or longer. I'm guessing it's my shoulders moving up and down with each stride? I don't know, but something about it helps immensely.

They aren't talking about quartz watches though. Seiko makes mechanical watches that were being compared to swiss mechanical watches costing way more.
