I wasn't sure if that test was a piece of cake, a piece of pie or a piece of p*ss..
Those are colloquialisms!

100% in 1 min 52s. Including googling for "a bad tree does not yield good", since I only have heard of "bad tree does not yield good fruit".
Apparently it's a Danish proverb, originally.

100% in 1:48,
although I did have to think about a few, and being here, I have purposely started using some of the other answers because I find them soo amusing. I almost got confused which were 'acceptably' right.
Anyways did anyone make big parties this weekend? hehehehehe

And, interestingly, they use American imagery, but British English expressions (pissed in America is either angry or what you do on the toilet).
I, too, only have heard that a bad tree doesn't yield good fruit, not just good apples  | | This user would like to thank evilshell for this useful post: | |
