Ohhh the irony

We hiked the first of the three sisters last weekend, but much to our dismay we were unable to hike the other two due to weather.  When we reached the top of the mountain we were in the clouds and visibility was roughly 10 feet.

Mountain climbing for me is really difficult when all I can see is clouds, so we went back down the mountain. The motivation of climbing is the view.

Now for the irony.

When we got back to the van we all enjoyed some fruit that we had brought along.

I had an orange and my wife had an apple.

It was at this point that one of our group members told my wife that he had recently heard that apples were supposed to be bad for you because so much pesticide was used in their production.

I've heard this argument before and I don't really care. I wash my fruit before I eat it...most of the time.
I was so busy thinking about avoiding this discussion that I missed the irony.

My wife pointed out later that this guy told us about the evil of apples while smoking a cigarette.
