Not sure if I'll get over this.

I was enjoying quite a pleasant evening yesterday. It was warm and the sky was a beautiful deep blue as I met my sweetheart by my beloved fountain. I was happy to see Clive, who was back from his travels, spurting away.

We strolled along the tree-lined streets, which were all the more charming due to the lack of people who'd fled the city for the long weekend, chatting amiably. I had my camera with me, so I took photos of some of the scenery on the way.

Our destination was Delvita, the supermarket. We got a cart and entered the fruit and vegetable section, picked up a few things, admired the vibrant ripe tomatoes and other fresh produce we encountered, when I saw it.

My nightmare

Aaaarrrrrggggggggghhhhhhhhhh!!!!!**!!!

What a nightmare! No, not bananas. They're so long and smooth and curved, just perfect to grip in your hand, and their, (gulp) pointy end, just the right shape for the mouth, and no, no, I can't take it, they (***%#) HAVE A TAB THAT ALLOWS YOU TO PEEL THEM WITHOUT THEM SQUIRTING ALL OVER YOUR FACE!!!!!

I was having such a great day up to that point.

Wow... Bananas come in bunches and can stack easily, making it convenient to sell in a market. That's just one more piece evidence of God's grand design.

Actually one could argue that the banana is well designed (by God), afterall what food could be better? Bananas are tasty, nutritious, come in a fabulous colourful package and can be quickly consumed without utencils.
The one big downside is that most types of banans once picked from the tree ripen quickly so the most delicious varieties of bananas are not exported from the tropics.
This is clearly a mistake by God or at least an oversight. Too many people make the assumption that God is perfect. This matter is so clearly ingrained that no one has seriously questioned it. I believe an investigation is in order. Although I feel this would amount to a wild goose chase.

Nooooooo. Stop it! I'm losing my faith in a godless world, this is terrible.

Actually yeah, how come the really nice ones are so unsuitable for transporting? And if god was so damn clever, how come he didn't invent them chopped up and served with ice cream ha?

I feel better now.

Isn't this design saying god is gay? I mean, the way that guy was deep-throating the banana...

I think god's just into porn myself, all types probably, though he's obviously not a huge fan of the money shot.
