Sir Geoffrey Bananington is the Professor of Comparative Fruit, Literature and Interspecies Negotiation at Bruisington University (and never lets any of us forget it). Right now he's on a mission to right the injustices done to bananas. Professor B tends to rant a bit, but he's part of the Banana Collective, and we love 'im.




Several of us went to the local farmers market this morning...

Yes, the Banana Collective goes to farmers markets

... and I took some pictures to show our readers all of the wonderful bananas displayed for sale.




That's right ~ Not. A. Single. One.

There were NO bananas displayed at the farmers market. Nada. Zero. Zilch.

Let's see what the farmers DID have that was soo--oo--ooo necessary as to leave no room for bananas:

There was plenty of fruit...
melons

pears and the evil-est of fruits, apples




There were vegetables, of course: okra and squash.jpg

including stuff pulled from the ground garlic.jpg

and even fungi mushrooms.jpg

But do you think there was even a SINGLE banana to be had in the entire farmers' market? No, there wasn't.

We, the Banana Collective, are NOT going to roll over and take this kind of treatment!



Excuse me, Professor Bananington. I think the absence of bananas in the local market may have to do with your local growing conditions.Are bananas actually grown where you live?










I, um...
Well, actually...
No, I guess they aren't.
(oops.)







It's a mistake any of us could have made.
