I'm Back! Let's Go Bananas!

Thanks for living in limbo while I live it up first with the mouse, then the beach, then with some friends & fam in Nebraska. I appreciate your loyalty. That's why I'm bringing you this AMAZING fruity treat from Good Housekeeping's Book of Salads (c)'58

How do they come up with "Those Fruitful Salads?" Wouldn'tcha like to know? Well, now you are mere moments away from the big reveal regarding the top banana. Cue the Bananaboat Song as I humbly present to you...Banana on the Half Shell
Remove half of banana peel lengthwise. Without removing fruit from remaining peel, cut banana into 1/2" slices. (Do not cut through peel.) Serve on "half shell," with fork.

Seriously.

Knock-knock.
Who's there?
Banana.
Banana who?
Knock-knock.
Who's there?
Banana.
Banana who?
Knock-knock.
Who's there?
Orange.
Orange who?
Orange you glad I didn't say banana?

No freaking kidding.
