OT - Orange Juice Futures

Submitted by Clarence Beeks on
Just doing trying to do my part... "An Arctic cold front that pushed into Florida early this week is expected to drive up local food prices. The freezing temperatures inflicted damage on fruit and vegetable crops in the sunshine state's northern and central citrus growing regions, where the average temperature this time of year is usually about 70 degrees. Although the losses are not believed to be catastrophic, they are severe. And to make matters worse, lingering cold has forced growers to delay planting for their spring crops, which also could affect the future market." http://www.goupstate.com/article/20100116/ARTICLES/1161029/1112?Title=F…

Clarence, is that what the report in your briefcase is telling you? Watch out for Inga...the breasts can be a bit distracting. The Dukes should be getting out of prison about now shouldn't they?

Actually, in the movie "Coming to America," Eddie Murphy gives 2 homeless men a lot of money. It turns out that they're the Duke brothers and they shout "we're back!" I think they made a living off that money. And yes, I stole that from Wikipedia. EDIT: Props to the above, beaten to it.
