Apples and Oranges

There is a different mind set when consuming apples and oranges. With apples, you just reach into the fridge, grab one and take a bite. No fuss, no bother. You just keep biting away until you reach the core. Then you toss it into the garbage and walk off.
Oranges need more preparation. You have to bite the skin first to create a starting point for peeling. Some oranges resist peeling and make it difficult to get one long peel that takes you all around the orange and gives a modest feeling of satisfaction. No, stubborn oranges will frustrate you as tiny sections come off, little by little. You really are dying for this piece of fruit and sometimes take a bite before its fully peeled, inappropriate in all cultures, if you ask me.
Finally, after piling up maybe 40 pieces of skin, your orange is peeled. The next problem is squirting. Oranges squirt, it's a fact. Your shirt is usually the victim; sometimes the person sitting opposite you. If it gets in your eye, it stings. You get angry, but that is balanced by the exquisite taste of a good orange.
Once you've finished, you must get rid of the skin, plus any pits you've not swallowed. These pits are big enough to spit and get some good distance, unlike watermelon pits, which are overrated and lose altitude pretty quick.
