Father Orange gives a sermon.

 

Father Orange

'None of us are the property of the tree we came from. So, when a blossom turns into an orange, that orange is ripe for the picking. That succulent piece of fruit might finish up in a salad or be squeezed or eaten whole but, in two of those cases, it will need to be peeled. 
They say it is a picker's right to choose. Well once you pick that piece of fruit you have made the choice. Remember that it's an orange and not a banana.
Now this is something that for some may be painful to hear, there could be one or two people here who have a preference for, say, a pear.
I just want to remind you of the great love of the orange tree. The orange tree who got chopped down out of love for us, even praying for his tree fellers who sawed through his trunk. 'Main tree, forgive them for they know not what they do'.
So, the tree loves each one of us individually and all oranges are special. Happy forever. And I had to remind a banana of this one time.'

Very good.
Oh! Are those tree fellers the Irish version of the Holy Trinity?

Good point. Yes, I think they are.

For the same reason that Father Orange isn't called Father Banana.
