| Wonderful story, Phil! Like Marie, I used to receive an orange in my Christmas stocking (along with nuts -- the kind you need a nutcracker to open, not the kind that come in bags without the shell). |

| Good story Phil, you said: "Why the big concern about throwing a sticky worn-out orange away? It was the Chinese. There were billions of little Chinese children, all starving, and they would kill for an orange. Therefore, it was a major sin to throw food away, especially oranges."
That reminded me of a quip by "Dennis the Menace" when he left some food on his plate and his father remarked about all the kids in China without food. Dennis said, "Name one." |
