In a banana republic, one might slip on a banana peel but things do work - now and then for the people, albeit inefficiently and unreliably.

When you slip on a banana peel, people laugh at you; but when you tell people you slipped on a banana peel, it's your laugh. So you become the hero rather than the victim of the joke.

I hate bananas. I just hate them. But I also think a banana suit is the funniest fruit costume a person can wear.

I'm getting so old, I don't even buy green bananas anymore.

My belief about acting in one foot on a banana peel and the other one in the grave.

I'm so old, I don't buy green bananas any more.

To be honest, I think bananas are a pathetic fruit.

Indeed it is possible to stand with one foot on the inevitable 'banana peel' of life with both eyes peering into the Great Beyond, and still be happy, comfortable, and serene - if we will even so much as smile.

Intellectual property has the shelf life of a banana.

I'm going to buy some green bananas because by the time I get home they'll be ripe.
