If the UN says so, then it MUST be true!

Is it Bush's fault, or just the EVIL United States in general?

The world is falling. It's Bush's fault. It's global warming. Basically it is all the US of A's fault.

I kinda like the hybrid mix of "Plantain x Cavendish". Tougher skin and not as sweet when ripe. But that's just me.

This is terrible. What will the public schools give the students for condom training?

I recall Geraldo saying we would lose all of our banana pickers here in the U.S. if we sent the illegals back to Mexico.

I prepared myself for the worst then. :^)

It could take a global effort to save the bananas' gene pool.

I am sure that companies that produced the Cavendish variety have already done so. They had to breed their bananas with other bananas to get their varieties in the first place. Why do you suppose the UN wants to get involved? Everything they do has a (nefarious) purpose, as we have seen.

Didn't this already happen about eighty years ago to the Gros Michel banana?

A Future With No Bananas

Could this be the one way to get our President to stop monkeying around on immigration?

The President has ignored my call for a Strategic Banana Reserve where the government buys hundreds of tons of bananas for future use if our banana supplies are cut off.

I forsee warehouses full of bananas in all of their golden..uh, yellow and somewhat spotty, ... uh, black and mushy goodness.

the year 2023:

"Mommy what is that yellow pill on my plate?"

"It's your banana pill....back when I was a little girl we used to have real bananas"

"Mommy what is that red pill on my plate?"

"It's your meat pill....back when I was a little girl had used to have real meat"

No more bananas?

Could this be the pivotal event that inspires the monkeys to take over, ala "Planet of the Apes"?

The banana is proof of intelligent design. If the banana disappears, so does god.
