Bananas. Tasty, yellow fun. However, they squish in your lunch bag and make everything taste like bananas. I like them� but I don�t want to have a bologna sandwich with mustard and a hint of banana. There�s just something wrong with that! So, needless to say, I�m not bringing bananas to work anymore.

Speaking of bananas, I think one of the funniest things that I�ve been a witness to happened with bananas. This happened a long time ago, when I lived in downtown Barrie with Thelma. We lived in a ground floor apartment. Our kitchen window faced a somewhat busy street, and people walking down the sidewalk could easily look into our place. One day, Sue, Thelma and I were in the kitchen putting groceries away, or something like that. Sue started to laugh, and picked up the one solitary banana, all brown and black, and said, �Umm, are you guys saving this for anything?� We laughed and said no. Sue goes to throw it out, but the garbage was piled as high as it could go. Instead of anyone changing it, Sue says, �Hey, can I just drop this out the window?� Well, why not, we figure. Beats the hell outta changing the garbage (remember, this was a long time ago�we were real mature then). However, Sue doesn�t just drop that baby out the window, she decided to throw it with all her might, saying as it sails through the air, �Fly, banana, fly!� And away it goes out the window. As it goes out, we see a man walking by our apartment and he had to jump out of the way to not get hit in the face by the rancid banana. We all burst out laughing and try to squeak out a �sorry.� The man smiles and says, �That�s okay, happens all the time.� And cheerfully went on his way.

My question to you is: What kind of life do you lead if bananas come flying out of windows to you �all the time�?
