Do you hate Australians?

[Egbert]

OMG! I never thought about this until someone finally asked the question: no.

Why not?

I thought you hated everyone?

Have changed into a nice person?

[Aeson]

I've had 5 bananas this week, and that's not including the ones cooked in various dishes. From this I can conclusively say that I am at least 65 times better than the average Australian.

[The Mad Monk]

Is it true that Australian bananas are really expensive? Here in northeastern Kansas I can get them for 49 cents a pound.

[Egbert]

Bananas at the local store today cost A$2.59 for a kilogram. Expensive compared to US$0.49 per pound in northeastern Kansas.

So ...... yes.

Aeson probably gets his free on his plantation. Lucky Aeson.

Free bananas

[Aeson]

I sometimes get bit by ants when harvesting the bananas, but I do not pay them for biting me so it is of no value.

[Aeson]

Plus these are good bananas, not the crap they put in supermarkets.

[Lorizael]

Australians eat about 5 million bananas a year.

That sounds like a lot however with a population of over 20 million that's only 4 bananas a year each.

That means the average Australian only has one banana every three months.

What sort of country is this if people have to wait 3 months for the next banana?

Horrifying! I had no idea we had such a serious problem on our hands.

Is division also upside down in the southern hemisphere?

[N35t0r]

Yes.

You can't trust a country whose toilets swirl in the wrong direction.

Bananas, even expensive ones, might make up for this.

[N35t0r]

Even decimated expensive bananas.

[Elok]

It is in the Aeneis.
I don't know if it features like that in the iliad.

It can't; the Iliad ends with the burial of Hector and doesn't describe any part of the fall of Troy.

You can't trust a country whose toilets swirl in the wrong direction.

/coriolis effect

Bananas, even expensive ones, might make up for this.

Only true if all of Australia is one giant toilet.

[Thoth]

Only true if all of Australia is one giant toilet.

So it's true then.

[Egbert]

Plus these are good bananas, not the crap they put in supermarkets.

Turn all of your plantations over to bananas and export then to Australia.

We are a "banana deprived" nation.

The banana situation is much worse when division is upside up.
