I get 3 miles per banana, do you?

It might be amusing to try to purchase a single banana. Rose bushes seem to like a mixture of shredded banana peels and crushed eggshells dug in around them. But I think it's okay to ride to the Dairy Queen for a banana split, and let DQ deal with the peel while we deal with the calories. The crows will probably pick it (the banana peel) out of the dumpster behind the building anyways. Crows gotta live, too. Personally I'm no afficionado of oily fruits like bananas and avocados. Except for olives. Olives are lovely. I confess to being an olive addict. Queens, manzanillas, kalamatas &c -- they're all good. I dunno how many miles one should expect per olive. I get about 25 km per 1-cup serving of quick-cooking Quaker[tm] oats. And oatmeal doesn't go through me like prune juice through a goose, like too many bananas do. I think I derive more enjoyment from a decadent banana split than from some hippie-swill, laxative smoothie. Other people's tastes & preferences may vary, and I maintain no contention with that. Whatever turns our cranks. cheers, Tom -- Nothing is safe from me. I'm really at: tkeats curlicue vcn dot bc dot ca |

I admit I mostly purchase bananas in pairs (since I go to the shop alternate days) but I reasonably often buy a single banana, and I've never found it any more amusing than buying in larger quantities. regards, Ian SMith -- |\ /| no .sig |o o| |/ \| |

That depends on the power curve of the engine in question; in the motorcycle world, there are plenty of engines that make peak power at redline. Chalo |
