Frank and Ernest by Thaves for June 04, 2022

You buy tomorrows bananas yesterday to enjoy today.

Frank, it may be because you’re always too late. Other customers always get and buy them before you even have a chance to see them.

Yes, we have no bananasWe have-a no bananas today.

Come mister tally man tally me bananas.

So, which one is the top banana?

Because today’s banana’s are smeared, for 400 yards, along the hill that leads into Scranton, PA. Yes that 30,000 pounds, of bananas (see Harry Chapin for details).

How would he know?

We got a bunch of green last week that never did ripen. Hard as rock and they couldn’t even be peeled. Never happened before. . .

I was at a Publix and a woman was looking at the bananas that were all very green. She asked the produce guy if there were any ripe ones in the back. He said lady why would we put out the green ones while keeping ripe ones in the back?

Make banana bread from tomorrow’s bananas and then you kind of have bananas today.

Just take one of each and on average you are right there…

Yesterday’s bananas were today’s bananas yesterday.

I read a tip years ago that peeling a banana from the tail end is better. It peels easier and there are fewer “threads” to pick off. I think it does peel easier, but I’m not so sure about the fewer threads…

Buy tomorrow’s banana today, eat it tomorrow. Buy yesterday’s banana today, make banana nut loaf tomorrow. Tomorrow is the solution (but promised to no one).

As long as it isn’t this banana:

The bananas are green so you can’t tell how old they are…

So true. I have 2 on the sideboard right now.

At least they give you a clue, unlike avocados.

they were here 2 days ago

The queen’s rule is, bananas to-morrow and bananas yesterday—but never bananas to-day.

Tomorrow’s bananas are the next day’s banana bread. :)

this whole discussion is just bananas…

If he keeps complaining like that, nobody will find him apeeling.

Because you’re not in South America?

Yes. We have no bananas. We have no bananas today. Judy. Can you spell bananas. Bananananana. I know how to spell it. I just don’t know when to stop!

paw paws are even worse… about a 15minute window of “ripe”

I haven’t seen “yesterday’s bananas” in years; my stores only sell green or greenish. So I can’t ever just decide to make banana bread and run out to pick up some spotted bananas, I always have to plan it in advance. I wonder if they throw out the spotted ones, or what.
