I'm not a conspiracy fan either. The "Banana Peel Theory of History" appeals to me more. The more planning Our Betters inflict upon us--the more banana peels mysteriously appear in the road.

I'm just beginning to spy a pattern in the slip-ups--that's all. Maybe particular brands of bananas cause certain predictable contortions as the body goes down. Or maybe it varies from bunch to bunch. I'll have to work on that.......

Very funny! I love the idea of casting all of their machinations, 5 Year Plans, and dog-wagging as nothing more than crass slapstick! As usual, you've opened up a whole new way of looking at it for me.
