    Anyone who would sit in ice like that for 3hours – on purpose – isn’t an athlete, they’re a moron.

    Sitting in ice – maybe he wanted his Scotch “on the rocks”

    I once saw a documentary where those spider fanatics rose them “cuties” free range in their rooms… Phew! Tell you not a ton of bananas could make me happy if I had to stay there overnight!

    Trying to stay topical, but banana jokes are all pretty vulgar, and most of the spider jokes were kiddie’s Halloween jokes. Well, the spider at least makes an appearance in this one.

    Two caterpillars are escaping a spider…They climb up a small branch and get to the edge, but realize they are now trapped.

    “Hold on tight!” says the first caterpillar, and he quickly chews through the branch. It snaps and they begin to fall, but he grabs two protruding twigs and steers the branch through the air with grace and finesse.

    “That’s amazing!” says the second caterpillar. “How are you doing that?!”.

    The first caterpillar scoffs. “Am I the only one in the whole dang forest who knows how to drive a stick?”

    Until next time.

    He should have sat up to his neck in bananas.

    Take care, may famed spider whisperer Hirohito “It’s Not Cruel If It’s A Sport” Nagayamord be with you, and gesundheit.

    Do the spiders battle to the death or until one makes the other cry “uncle”?

    I wish I could go back to eating raw bananas, but I’ve been allergic to them since ’82. Also, cantaloupe, honey dew melon, and some early season watermelons.

    They can make you happy UNLESS you are allergic. My body gets rid of them – immediately – No thanks. But I still like the taste, allergic since about 2011.

    Our taxes at work.; Must be a government sponsored test that found out that eating bananas makes you happy. Or, Chiquita sponsored the test??

    Sounds like Valerjan doesn’t have much of a heating bill during the winter months.

    Yes, we have no bananers

    But seriously, remember the banana peel hoax in the 70s: Scrape the inside of the peel, wrap it in a zigzag then smoke it.

    When Mr Romanoski was asked to sign the Guiness Book of World Record certificate, he replied: “I can’t. Frostbite caused me to lose all my fingers.”

    “Whenever you feel low, simply just eat some banana, and you will get the instant mood boost. The fruit contains amino acid, tryptophan, and vitamin B6 that help our brains to produce serotonin or known as the hormone of satisfaction. That’s why, eating banana will instantly make you more relaxed and calm…Not only that, the consumption of this fruit may also help you to avoid depression. Again, it is the magnesium inside the fruit that takes part. In a day, women are suggested to consume at least 320 milligrams of magnesium, and men are suggested to consume at least 420 milligrams of it to prevent depression.”
