Trying to escape, the little Apple found itself in a jamb as it dashed towards the path leading to the greener grass on the other side of the fence.

I thought this most apt:

Wife texts husband on a cold winter's morning: "Windows frozen, won't open".

Husband texts back: "Gently pour some lukewarm water over it".

Wife texts back five minutes later: "Computer really f*&$ up now."
