Bananas: The Reason For The Non-Existance of World Peace

I hope that heading made sense to you.

I just thought I’d like to bring up the issue of Bananas, and why we don’t have World Peace.
Think there’s a connection?
Well, so do I. So, being my usual, stange self, I did some research:

Banana is the common name used for herbaceous plants in the genus Musa, which because of their size and structure, are often mistaken for trees.
Globally, bananas rank fourth after rice, wheat and maize in human consumption; they are grown in 130 countries worldwide, more than any other fruit crop.

Think about it…

World peace is a future ideal of freedom, peace and happiness among and within all nations.

I hope this information has made you think about Bananas and the connection that they may have with “World Peace”, or lack of. 

 

((Just an extra bit of jibberish))

The depiction of a person slipping on a banana peel has been a staple of physical comedy for generations. A 1906 comedy record produced by Edison Records features a popular character of the time, “Cal Stewart”, claiming to describe his own such incident, saying:

I don’t think much of a man what throws a bananer peelin’ on the sidewalk, and I don’t think much of a bananer what throws a man on the sidewalk, neether. … my foot hit that bananer peelin’ and I went up in the air, and cum down ker-plunk, and fer about a minnit I seen all the stars what stronomy tells about, and some that haint been discovered yit. Wall jist as I wuz pickin’ myself up a little boy cum runnin’ cross the street and he sed “Oh mister, won’t you please do that agin, my mother didn’t see you do it.”

Because of the stereotypical image of monkeys and apes eating bananas, they have been used for racist insults, such as throwing bananas at sports players of African descent.
In Chinese culture, banana is a slang term which is used to describe an Asian person who acts like a caucasian (yellow on the outside, white on the inside). Due to their association with monkeys they are also used as tokens in the 3D Nintendo versions of Donkey Kong and the Sega series Super Monkey Ball. Bananas are also “humorously” used as a phallic symbol due to similarities in size and shape.
