After huge freeze in the upstate that did massive crop damage here:

Local farmer: Yeah, we lost about 90% of the peach crop.
Newscaster: So is it too late to replant?
Local farmer: ::silence, then changes topic::
Newscaster: Well, will you be able to replant?
Local farmer: ::disbelieving look:: No.

Do they send them to dumb school, or what? The newscaster is also a local, so no excuse.
