Cartoonishness

[simont]

Yesterday I opened the driver's door of my car, prepared to get out, and stopped just in time: lying on the floor, just where I would have put my foot, was a banana skin.

Come on. Nobody really leaves banana skins lying on the floor if they're not in Tom and Jerry cartoons, do they? And leaving it just where someone would put their foot is just suspicious. I'm sure that if I'd slipped on it, some unlikely chain of events would have ensued which culminated in an anvil dropping from the ceiling of the car park.

I once slipped on a banana skin, when walking down Station Road. They actually are (almost) as slippery as cartoons would lead you to believe. At a certain stage in their decomposition, anyway.

People leave banana skins lying around all over the place. You tend to notice if the smell of them makes you nauseous.

No, I don't go around leaving banana skins like that.

Really, I don't.

Just remember that.

Btw, yourjuggling skills were getting some positive comment last night. Unfortuantely for you, they were being told to me, after you'd left.
