Lemons not always equal to Lemonade

Okay, so I was thinking this morning about that phrase; When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. Well, that works only if the lemons are good aka not rotten. I mean who wants to drink lemonade that's been made with bad lemons. And then you have to make sure you have good water and some kind of sweetener. So anyone could make lemonade from good lemons but making good lemonade from bad lemons is another matter all together. I say sometimes you have to throw out the whole batch of lemons and go check out the raspberry bush and see if you can make jam!
