How do you protect your banana?

[jimi]

My banana always gets bruised and squashed and ends up in a sort of liquified pulp when I go sailing. Any ideas?

 

[StephenSails]

Use the Banana Guard of course!

You might try to put it in a space where it is supported with an equal pressure all over the surface of the banana. This will avoid the stress on small surfaces of the banana that causes the bruises you complain about. If done in a smart place you will also avoid having to search for your banana!

;-) Yeah .. but what colour?

I'm torn between Ravishing Red or Passionate Purple

I can just see jimi walking around a shop , picking up every banana to see if it the right shape to fit in the banana guard,

mutters of
this ones to short,
that ones to strait
that ones to fat,
just imagine if some one was listening from the other side of the counter, what would they be thinking.

You take bananas sailing? Wow, brave. On the way to the boat, do you walk under as many ladders as possible, kicking black cats while muttering about rabbits (in French), before setting sail on a Friday in your green boat (and breaking the occasional mirror for best effect)?

Anyway, what's wrong with a small hammock?

 

[jimi]

listen you .. dae ye think ah came up ra Clyde in a banana boat?

I suggest you look in your inbox. Most mornings I find various people writing to me with solutions to the kind of problem you describe.

Have you tried the Dr Chartham method. It seems to use a glass tube.

No scurvy on Jimi's ship.......

 

[AlexL]

get some extra winch handle pockets of course.

 

[boatmike]

You may note that in the interest of good taste I have kept out of this one. I just can't bear to contemplate anything resembling Jimi's banana this early in the morning........

 

[Phoenix of Hamble]

LOL.... excellent post Mike, made me laugh.....

 

[snooks]

What's wrong with hanging the hand of bananas from a hand hold in the saloon?...obviously don't use the handholds on the side you walk down..bit of string to hold the hand in the centre and just rip the bananas off each end...when you get to the last one you can practice yer rolling hitches /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Thought initially this was a response to FlyingDutchman /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

 

[Gunfleet]

There's something wrong with those bananas. Mine come in a big thick yellow easy-peel skin.

 

[Phoenix of Hamble]
