    A lion notices a monkey by a river, dipping a banana peel into the water

    He watches her for a few minutes, as she dips the peel, keeps it under water, and then takes it out, watches the water a bit, repeats. Finally, the lion gives up trying to make sense of the sequence.

    “Hey, monkey”

    “Hey, lion”

    “What in the world are you doing?”

    “Ten bucks and I will explain”

    The lion pays her.

    “Thanks. I’m dipping a banana peel in the water”

    “Wtf, monkey? You’re the biggest idiot I’ve ever seen!”

    “Sure, I’m an idiot, but I’m making $40 an hour.”

    No wonder Harry Belafonte complained about working on a banana boat.

    I recently needed to be on a BRAT diet (“Bananas, Rice, Apple sauce, Toast”), but once the antibiotic kicked in everything is now much better except for all those pesky questions from the board of health nurse.

    My father told me that eating a banana or two before leaving shore was a method to prevent seasickness. He was taught this as a young boy by some old salt.

    The bananas look like praying hands? Not really.

    So, how are bananas supposed to actually GET here?

    As for the “praying hands” ones, eh, not so much.
