Pay close attention to what I am about to tell you, banana: you’re a goddamned banana. The only sticker you need would say, ”Your eyes do not deceive you, friend; I am indeed a banana. Please eat me at your leisure, as is the custom of humans. Thanks for reading and God bless!” Don’t gild the lily with ’90s X-TREME marketing bullshit, banana. You’re better than that.
