Does 'orange alert' mean bad fruit in Florida?

i just saw someone question the term "homeland" security in another thread, and now i am curious as to why you think they use that term?

it is the new 'buzzword'

one more thing that irks me about this administration

so anyway there's an orange alert and all fruit should be inspected and any discrepancies should be reported immediately...thank you for your support!

*sigh*

1. no.

The alert was for me alone, I needed a reminder to get out there and start picking the oranges before the fruit rats get them.

Tom said, 'no problem, I'll let you know when they're at their best.'
Didn't realize he was gonna brodcast it. Jeesh. Sorry if this little slip has inconvenienced anyone.

Go shop. Buy more stuff. But do keep a lookout for people in scuba gear flying cropdusters they don't own.

5. You're right!!! What a cute idea.

They could have different fruit flavors for the alerts:

lime alerts = no danger
Lemon alerts = be on your guard
Orange alerts = time to pull out the duct tape.
And last but not least; Cherry alert = we're toast.

Even the kids could participate. We could make it a fun game. "Kids, what alert is it today?" asks the teacher. "We know, it's lemon today!!!. Yay!!!"
