Because if you did, we would have some serious problems.
Bananas, despite their cheery yellow color and playful gentle taste, are horrid things. Bananas can be compared to murderers, ants, Hitler, and torture chambers. Bananas are as bad as the baddest villains in the baddest movies. They are a fruit to be feared. Yet they are so widely loved...
That in itself is a bad thing. There are satan worshippers out there, but that doesn't make satan good, does it? I should think not. And why would bananas differ? They wouldn't, that's how.
Bananas seem so innocent, so it's hard to belive that they could be harmful. But bananas contain potassium, which robs your blood of the precious salt it contains. When put into a smoothie, bananas overpower the entire thing and you can taste little else. When put into a dried bag of fat free granola, bananas do not taste like bananas and they're all brown and gross looking. Clearly you can see a problem there. If not, check out this video of an innocent fellow who was prompted to 'put a banana in his ear'.
Those of us who have any sense whatsoever know that putting a banana in one's ear will NOT make the sadness and gloom in the world go away, it will only intensify it becuase now the world is sad and gloomy AND your ear is full of banana. Besides, you could hurt yourself; the potassium could eat the salt away from your skin.
So, please folks. Heed my warning. Bananas are not a fruit to be messed with. So reconsider next time you pass a cheery yellow bunch in the grocery store. They may cost you more than you're willing to pay.
