This is Just Bananas.

[mawnansmiff]

Some Swedish lady politician claims to suffer from 'bananaphobia' so certain areas of the Government building have to be 'banana-proofed' so as she can get along with official business.

I wonder if it's catching as amazingly another female Swedish politician also claims to suffer from the same .

"As with many rare phobias, causal factors for people with bananaphobia can be hard to determine, but experts say it can often stem from childhood".

Perhaps she was beaten with one when she was 8 or something

That is why they invented therapy.
Phobias are easier to treat than most conditions.

I took my staff to Tucson one year for the annual gem and mineral show there. My manager had an allergy to bananas. So, I paid an extra $3000 to get a plane that would be banana and peanut free. Then, before take off, there was a delay, and guess what those idiotic flight attendants did... passed out fucking bananas and peanuts. Yes, there were some on the flight that had no allergies, but the flight was designated a banana and peanut allergen free. My manager started swelling up like that spoiled brat on Willy Wonka and her heart stopped for a short period of time. And, she never even touched a banana, just the smell was dangerous to her.

We had to delay flight and spend a day at the ER.

Now, before this incident, we had always honored her allergies by not ever bringing bananas into the store, but we made jokes. It was an unusual allergy, so we made jokes about it. Bananas are funny. But, after seeing her reaction, I was terrified.

Sure, sure, people were angry about an even longer delayed flight, blaming her for everything. But, I did pay a fucking outrageous amount to keep the plane free of bananas. And, I am sure that there is some news article out there about how some crazy woman made everyone's flight delayed, because people are hateful self-centered idiots for the most part. I could very easily see her being called a banana-phobic by a moron newspaper journalist.

I am allergic to bananas.

Damned… I guess we won’t get the opportunity now to tell some good banana jokes

 

[cosmicfolklore]

I am allergic to bananas.

I would like to point out that Funkenhouser was not my manager. Ha ha... but I'd hire him in a heartbeat, as long as he tolerates my banana jokes, ha ha.

The smell of bananas is vile.
Just one hit of them raises my bile.
They taste awful when green
And when ripened, obscene.
In essence, they stink up the aisle.

Grilled Peanut Butter and Banana Sandwich

A peanut butter and banana sandwich is always tasty, but when it's cooked like a grilled cheese, you get melted peanut butter and warm sweet bananas — yum!

I really need to smoke my banana meerschaum around her. It's also dedicated to banana blends so double whammy!

I suspect she might have a problem with my 2003 self-portrait.

Or, more likely, to put it bluntly, penetrated.

Cosmic!

Surely you were able to recoup a bunch of cash from the plane charter when their employees screwed the pooch with bananas and peanuts!?!

[huntertrw]

So, is this lady politician is saying that we should ban 'nanas?

 

[mortonbriar]

I want to hear this conclusion too!

Its crazy...but only as crazy as being able to source bananas in Sweden...or as crazy as the need for an international pipe smokers forum...I guess what I am trying to say is that it lines up with everything else I already knew about our species.

Sometimes I have a sponge cake with my coffee that contains coconut and platain ( plátano). I love it, but I don't like banana at all, as it is less sweet, more insipid. The fried platain is delicious with cooked rice and fried tomato.

Are you pleased to see me or is that a banana in your pocket?
