Orange slices True story. I had gone out to dinner with my wife and her family at a Chinese restaurant. At the end of the meal, the waiter brought us a tray of fortune cookies and orange slices. I offered an orange slice to my wife, who said she doesn't eat oranges because they are acidic. So I ate the orange instead, thought for a second, and told her, ""I think you can eat these. They aren't acidic. They're just Orthodox.""
