Another Weird for the Weird folk
Dina:
Good idea, Otlan!
The other day I bought some cherries, they were delicious. And another slice of watermelon, we did some daiquiris :D
Fcrate:
Glad you didn't drop the watermelon this time, Dina :P
@Otlan: Right now, in the market: Bananas, citrus, oranges (for eating), strawberries (early harvest). Pomegranate season ended a month ago.
We also have other fruit that's not in season now, and some imported apples (Green apples and Red apples).
In summer, we'll have oranges (for juice), watermelon, canteloupes (orange core and green core), figs, barbary figs, grapes of all kinds, a good variety of mangoes, our local apples.
Our local apples are the best of all. They're a light red streaked with green or the other way around. They're crunchy, juicy, tart and sweet at the same time in a perfect blend, and they don't have the annoying sponginess of red apples.
That's all I can remember right now.

*Whistles* That's quite a seclection o.o . Thoses Local Apples do sound god n.,n ...
Dina:
That sounds very good. We only have pomegranates and mangoes in some fruit stores, not in all of them. I don't think they are local, perhaps pomegranates yes, but I am not sure. We produce many fruits but import others, mainly from Brazil, specially bananas, pineapple and (in less proportion) maracuya (passion fruit). We produce a good quantity of lemons (very good quality, I believe), grapes (a couple of our provinces are renown for their wines). Other two provinces have good apples and also produce (in a lesser proportion) pears and peaches. And relatively close to my area we have oranges, tangerines (I think that is the name), grapefruits. In the Patagonia, South of the country, we produce cherries, strawberries and several berries. In Buenos Aires we have all of them, more plums, figs and a few other things. In the North there are some fruits like guava that are not common in our fruit stores.
Oh, we also have kiwis, but I don't know where they come from.

But once you get to a higher echelon unit, like where I'm at now, and there's civilians working with us, all of a sudden it's not okay.
My supervisor pulled me aside when I first got here, and he told me to stop swearing before one of the civilians files a complaint with HR. My reply? "Since when has the army had fucking HR?!"
That supervisor gave up on getting me to stop swearing pretty quick.

Huh. Weird. I've heard my boss's boss say "god f***ing da***t" is probably higher than almost anyone else in the store. Granted, I work retail and she's a manager...
