<div dir="ltr">Thanks, you guys are worth a truck load of bananas, in fact I made a list why I like bananas just for you guys. :SMILE:<br><br><br> 1.) Just say it 'banana' - its like Mississippi without all the work. <br>
2.) What other food can you peel without a tool? <br> 3.) One of the only foods that's not inappropriate to eat after its been laying on the floor <br>
4.) Don't you wish everything turned brown when it wasn't appropriate to use? <br> 5.) They are banned from some Universities female dorms, so I laugh when I eat them.<br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Sep 22, 2008 at 3:02 AM, <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:rh90p@comcast.net" target="_blank">rh90p@comcast.net</a>></span> wrote:<br>
