Lions and Tigers and... Bananas? Oh, My!


Bananaphobia. It's real and it's scary, the non-aggressive nature of bananas not withstanding. Take the curious case of Fran Dando:
‘It began when I was seven and my brother put a banana in my bed as a joke,’ said Ms Dando, from Hastings, East Sussex.
‘I felt his horrible, slimy thing underneath my body. I was frozen in panic and hyperventilating. Ever since then, if I see one the same feeling comes back.’
She has since been forced to dodge bananas in shops and turn a blind eye to them in the fruit bowl at friend’s houses.
And that video? Well, that was just to raise the absurdity quotient.
