In summary, people can misunderstand each other because of the way they communicate or false expectations.

Beware of people who smile at you while holding a banana.

It's targetted at your feet. Your sole shall be displaced and you shall fall on your butt.
That's the plan anyway

Has anyone ever slipped on a banana or banana peel? The only fruit I've ever slipped on was a rotten tomato, which was scary because I was hanging off a bridge at the time (ahhhh, my days of being the bridge-climbing champion of Shrewsbury...).

Unfriendly banana-wielders both of you!
I've made friendly overtures and been receptive and open to any suggestions, and how I am repaid for that?

Fie, you're no fun to play with! :grumpy: :grumpy:

And don't you dare, El Hombre, to try and slip on ME; it'll hurt, I promise.

I'll tell you exactly what is wrong with a banana; stick it in your mouth, and it SOFTENS and turns into mush. :yuck:

It doesn't; not right away.
I want to chew on my food before it softens; the banana does so way too prematurely.
