I got that impression when I went to a production of "A Little Night Music," which has scenes that are set in Northern Sweden.

Do we have any bananas growing ?

I remember we had some right before the dinosaurs came

Not that I want to suggest anything

You'll have to ask Hati, the gardener

But yes, we have no bananas,
We have no bananas tuday....

[I used to know the whole song, but I'm happy that most of it is now forgotten.]

oops, now it is stuck with me

Try this one:
Oh, come, Mister tally man, tally me banana
Me say, come, Mister tally man, tally me banana

Of course we have bananas. The dinos have been dormant for long enough to have few fresh banana harvests. How much bananas would you like?

Banana earworms?

Here's a third one: In the trailers for the upcoming movie "Despicable me II" [as if the original wasn't despicable enough], there are four yellow minions who sing "ba-na-na, ba-na-na-na" to the song of the Beach Boys' "Barbara Ann."

Enjoy your new earworm.

friend of mine bought banana onions yesterday. ever heard of those

Pardon?

Are you sure they weren't banana shallots?

"Banana shallots are the largest variety and are named for their size. They have a smooth, tan-coloured skin and are slightly milder than other types."

Sounds about right, paulh

I'm not sure where I would get them. They haven't shown up at my local supermarket. Not that I care one way or the other.

I'm going to try them, they say their taste is something special

Shallots are very tasty. I'm sure the bigger ones are tasty, too.

I'm assured they taste differently like other shallots and nothing like bananas

Cherry tomatoes taste like tomatoes and not like cherries.
Beefsteak tomatoes taste like tomatoes, too.
I ate a champagne mango once. I didn't think think it tasted like champagne.
Genuine Mammoth Pumpkins probably don't taste like mammoths.
Blue lake beans don't taste like blue lakes.

Plus you probably won't be able to find beef steaks inside the beef steak mine W.C. Fields came by in one of his films

Not even if his paper read "Beef Steak Mine strikes bonanza!"
