They’d better put a tail on at least one of them.

They would have to put one on all of them if they were from Zamboanga...

Hard slide on this banana story!

(Bananas, Greek Greengrocers, Musical History)

https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/31253/music-history-3-yes-we-have-no-bananas

The story goes that one day in 1922, songwriting duo Frank Silver and Irving Cohn were on their way to work in New York City when they stopped for a snack. At a greengrocer’s, the Greek immigrant owner told the tunesmiths in his broken English, “Yes! We have no bananas today.” The reason the grocer had no bananas? A blight in Central America had caused a shortage. The songwriters made the phrase into the title of their next song. In a Broadway revue called Make It Snappy, the tune was introduced by star Eddie Cantor, and it zoomed to number one on the Hit Parade for five straight weeks. “Yes! We Have No Bananas”

Maybe they spiked the bananas with cocaine to get some traction? (Slide over!)

As soon as they learned that their ruse was detected, they probably split.

I'm remembering in the 60's that smoking banana's was enough to get you high.
Or were we high and decided to smoke banana's?

Thessaloniki (or Sal-on-NEE-kee as I recall the locals pronouncing it). Lived there in a hotel for 6 weeks to oversee some fabrications that a local steel plant was doing.

It was my daily routine to walk along the waterfront for several miles past the White Tower and the statue of Alexander the Great on his horse.... memorable times for sure.
