I detest bananas,
A smug fruit, designed to be eaten in railway carriages
On Bank Holidays,
With a complexion like yellow wax
And a texture like new putty
Flavoured with nail polish.
Yes, we have no bananas,
Glory be!
-Dorothy Sayers, "Lord, I Thank Thee - "

Actually, I rather like bananas...
Bananas, it's to be understood, contain "isoamyl acetate", a chemical which bees use when stinging to say, "This is bad, matey! Sting here!" Hence, you're more likely to be stung having eaten a banana, hence my non-irrational dislike of bananas. Although, I do like the song "Banana Man." But then, I haven't ever been stung for listening to music.
