How about this interesting thought experiment…He’s selling bananas at 25 cents a dozen.A dozen bananas weigh about 4 pounds.Current price of banana is about 60 cents a pound… that’s $2.40 …lets say $ 2.50 a dozen.The value of the dollar has gone down by over 90% since this was published.Don’t you just love Progress!
Reminds me of a song by the Smothers Brothers about a man who fell into a vat of chocolate. He yelled “FIRE” when he fell into the chocolate. When asked why, he said no one would come to his aid if he yelled “CHOCOLATE!!!”

That is a good way to either get locked up in jail or the loony bin.

I was going to ask if he’s trying to get a crowd, thinking they’re going to a trump rally, to buy bananas, but that would be wrong.

These days, you’d have to pay twice that much — and that’s just for a pound of bananas.

Hogan’s Heroes made fun of Hitler after the war; the Three Stooges made fun of him during the war.

Wow really weird and the writer here must have been a bit stupid unless this was from the 1930s and before the war began.
