Thoughts on oranges

I am eating an orange. It has about 781 pits in it. Is that normal? I mean, 3 to 4 pits per piece? really? Isn't that overkill? And who decides these things? And why do some oranges have no pits while others have way too many? What is the standard? And does it mean that they will taste better or worse? Or is that even a factor? The ones with pits seem more satisfying — probably because there is more work involved in spitting out those annoying pits. And what if you buy 6 or 7 from the market. Now you have 6 or 7 days of spitting out those damn pits! Sigh. Ok, back to this delicious, annoying orange.

  2. i enjoy oranges. HOWEVER, i find it to be a very high maintenance fruit. on top of the pits, theres the skin, and the stickyness, and the mess.. good grief, they're lucky they're delicious.
