The price of bananas?

[Dinner]

Indeed.

When I posted my banana thread a few months ago they were about a pound a kilo I think. A pound-fifty now. Hard times.

Nah. You got it easy. Last time I looked (yesterday) they were A$15 a kilo. (About six or seven pounds a kilo).

There's lots of Filipino workers who go to Australia. I'll just tell each of them to put a banana in their shorts. Then it's just up to Braindead to retrieve it. Go to the airport and watch for bulges in their pants... and when you spot one ask to see the merchandise.

Not the best idea idea you've ever had old chap. I see a potential for misunderstandings.

I am willing to take that risk to turn P10/kg into A15/kg. That's a 6700% increase in value. It would be criminal not to do it.

It's a low cost solution too, since Filipinos love gays (I will mention that there will be a gay guy at the airport looking for their banana... this is a good cover story) and taking packages with them on airlines (balikbayan boxes, though in this case it'd be a different sort of "package"), they'll probably do you the favor for free. So it's almost all profit!

I see the merits of your plan however I think you would be better off sending them to Calgary.
There is a problem here with gay guys searching for bananas.

[Aeson]

No potential for profit. By all accounts there's already a glut in the market for Filipinos offering Asher their bananas.

Then perhaps you could try recruiting sexy nubile young wenchs to bring whole bunches of bananas to Australia, cleverly concealed under their blouse. Two entire bunches could be transferred at a time.

Have a Carmen Miranda impersonator convention and have them bring extra bananas in their fruit hats.
