    I am so glad you have some life skills other than talking computer nonsense all the time. It is good to know you won’t starve to death!

    The irony in all of this is I am pretty sure this was metaphorical of the issue of the best method to split classes out and I am from Florida and never thought to eat an orange this way :-)

    I like the way you split the orange out… my kids will love this since they hate the white part and peeling it never seems to take care of it all.

    Your orange humor actually helped me today, so thanks. And sorry for being a butthead about the method of splitting your class out.

    How did your solution to the over-sized class turn out?

    Definitely not a metaphor.

    I simply think this is the best way to eat an orange. It’s fast, easy, clean, and leaves very little white peel on the edible piece.

    Ha you have impeccable timing then. You posted this literally as I was thinking to myself, “Am I pushing my coding philosophy too hard on him here?”. Too much work and not enough sleep leaves me edgy.

    Thanks for sharing an awesome way to get my 3 year old to stop complaining about the white skin of an orange.

    This would make a great project mgmt exercise! Have a bunch of stakeholders write instructions for how to eat an orange and then make them follow their instructions explicitly. Enjoy watching them realize how critical proper details are as they eat pith!

    Cool tip. I only recently learnt the proper way to peel a banana. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nBJV56WUDng
