Pits

Temple oranges have pits. Big pits that could choke you. Many more than navel oranges. Unlike flat watermelon pits, these are circular and hard. Bananas, apples, pears, nectarines and peaches don't have multiple pit families. Like avocados, they have one giant pit in the center. I'm talking about peaches and nectarines. Pay attention.
Peeling a temple orange means juice squirting all over the place. If you're on a first date, don't order temples for dessert. You'll look ridiculous eating them, what with juice running down your chin. Certain foods are meant to be eaten alone in the dark. Like artichokes, the single messiest food in existence.
Other types of melon have their own pits. The point here is unless we all switch over to pit-less hybrids created in labs by farmers children on scholarships from Warren Buffet our future is entire landfills consisting of pits.
Now I'm going to attempt to peel this temple orange by placing it in a deep bowl and wearing goggles and a large bib. Paper towels at the ready.
