Bananas

I have always hated bananas. They have a weird squishy-firm consistency, they bruise way too easily, and the flavor is almost as unpleasant as the aftertaste.

As an adult, though, every now and then I really want a banana. I’ll get one and eat it - at first enjoying the novelty and then mostly just being reminded of why I dislike them so much. Then I go back to my bananaless existence for another year.

I imagine this is how lesbians feel, too.

    You’ll change your mind — you just need to have a really good banana.

    True, Morgan, if you’re Anne Heche.

    Bananas are a good pre-bender meal if you know you’re going to get shit-faced. Somehow it counteracts the nasty aftertaste of puke. Sorry. Can’t tie that to lesbians.

    I just spit water out of my nose and then had a coughing attack.
    I was reading along like “yeah, totally!… the aftertaste sure!… oh man, I am the same way when it comes to bana– SPFAAAA!”

    I just have to remember to remove all the banana string, otherwise it’s like I got pubes in my teeth.

    Just when I was worried I wouldn’t be able to satisfy my daily jones for a non-porno fellatio reference…

    Thank God for you, Skinner! I can always count on you! :)

    Sadly, the US seems to only have the one variety of banana — 7 inches long, perfectly colored, kind of like plastic, and has that squishy bland flavor you describe. But there are other better bananas out there but they’re usually much smaller and have brown spots which puts off people. Have you tried looking in Latino grocery stores? They sometimes carry that smaller variety of banana.
