Hello hello banana.
One fine afternoon, i was on my way to school. It was a bus. The usual rocky and unexciting bus ride to prosaic tutorial class. The usual sleepy and cynical student awaiting another round of unfamiliar content slapping. Well, don't be too early to award the boring afternoon its death sentence. Look, there's a girl sitting opposite me. Of cuz, she, as a physical item alone is not the unboring item i am refering to. So, i dozed off a bit. But what happened the next moment when my eyelids bid farewell excited me. The lady in front of me was eating a banana. Firstly, you are not supposed to consume food or beverages on the bus. Secondly, any proper lady should not consume a banana in public. It is like PDA, or even worse. Anyway, she ate it in a very hesitant and slow manner (or demure, if thats the word i should be using), almost like she is having an affair with the fruit. Well, the guy beside me was breathing unsystematically the entire time. I don't blame him actually as my imagination was running wild too.
The right way to eat a banana in public (if you are ever in such a predicament) is to peel it, give it a very angsty QUICK bite, chew and swallow. And move on with life.
Never ever look at the fruit directly in the eye as if you 2 are friends.
