Yellow squash

It's true, people. Bananas do not travel well. Bananas tend to get very squeamish, and often spill their banananical guts out on long trips, quite literally. When will I learn my lesson? Oranges make much better backpacking companions than bananas. Heck, even apples can hold up much better on my rugged excursions.

I kind of felt like this poor guy on the van ride home yesterday:

imploded banana

My innards are spilling out of my peel! AAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Well, detective, the least we can do is show respect and try to salvage his remains. Anyone up for some banana creme pie?"
