Fran Dando is so scared of bananas that all it needs is a glimpse of one to make her shake, sweat profusely and even vomit.

Sort of like what happens when normal people see Barry Manilow.

Ring, ring, ring, ring, ring...therapy!

[Theresa]

Bananaphobia indeed. She needs to tell herself that they are nutritious. I surely don't understand these ailments that people have. Too funny.

[Scott]

Annie: Any Raffi reference is a good reference.

[nursecindy]

What a coincidence. I have a phobia against women named Fran who are afraid of bananas. I think it's called Franabananaphobia.

[Annie Where-but-here]

i saw etc., open for etc.

[queensbee]

snorks particularly at siouxie adn annie. i think a good therapist could peel away the layers of her problems. she was probly frightened of a gigantic yellow 'nana while in utero...

[Diva]

If she saw one of those things in utero, her mother needed to upgrade her toys. Just sayin'.

[MOTW]

You can fry 'em, you can slice 'em
Either way you oughta try some
B A N A N A S
They are great with coconut or
chocolate sauce or peanut butter
B A N A N A S
Oh, bananas have it all
They make berries seem banal
From Montana to Mobile
Have bananas with your meal
They're the answer, what a deal
All your troubles seem to vanish with
B A N A N A S

No, I have no idea why I memorized this song.

[trustf8]

She must have a split personality...

(orange you glad i didn't say banana??)

[Annie Where-but-here]

I now have a fear of songs memorized by MOTW.

[queensbee]

i love that banannanananana song!

[Coconuts]

*snork* at diva and cindy and everyone else

[oldfatguy]

I understand her totally. I am terrified of Broccoli. And don't get me started on asparagus.
I even get nervous sometimes when I see spinach.

[Ken]

I'm scared of cats that play the bass fiddle. Just sayin' (Andy's Gang reference ftw!)

[Jeff Meyerson]

*snork* at Ken's Midnight reference.

Plunk your magic twnager, Froggy.

[Jeff Meyerson]

I mean, Plunk your magic twanger, Froggy!

[flynbenny]

I'm in love with this girl!

I hate bananas too, but I don't get sick, I just hate the way they smell and taste!

[NotSherly]

Sometimes a banana is just a banana.
Or not.

[mudstuffin]

i totally get why motw memorized the song and am reminded why she and i had a brief but torrid silliness contest many years ago...

[NotSherly]

Reference please, mud?

[bonmot]

Her condition certainly isn't a-peeling.

[MOTW]

*smooch* mud!
