Marmalade and opera

I have time to entertain myself with one last, quick post today.

Opera is like marmalade. And so is grapefruit. I'll tell you why. When I eat an orange, I peel the fucker and then dispose of the peel. I don't eat the peel, because it tastes terrible. So what is the idea with marmalade? Why include the peel? Throw the stuff away. It's fucking horrible. As is opera. The tunes aren't that good, the acting is lame and I don't understand the words.  It's the same with grapefruit. It's bitter and horrible and in 2011 we can make informed choices about such things.

I see that Wikipedia tells me that for a while grapefruit was known as the shadduck or shattuck. That sounds more appropriate. Why the hell would you call a bitter relative of the orange a grapefruit just because it hangs in clusters on trees like grapes on a vine? Jeepers. Did those idiots not notice that a grapefruit is more or less fist-sized, tastes fucking terrible and that grapes are the size of a fingertip and taste really nice?

Coffee is almost the same as opera but it has a significant advantage. It's medicine. Opera doesn't contain caffeine and hence there is no point in swallowing it, whereas coffee does and hence there is.

Is that clear?
