Making A Banana Split

Making A Banana Split

Did you ever try making a banana split? Let me tell you that it is one of the most difficult things I have ever tried.

Why, I believe it would be a lot easier to make a hardwood board split than it is to make a banana split! The one time in my life that I tried it, I was a total failure.

In the first place, just how do you go about making a banana split? Do you talk to it? That’s a BIG problem in itself because I’m not sure bananas hear very well. In fact, I’m convinced that a banana is totally deaf!

The one I talked to for half an hour gave absolutely no indication that it heard one word I said. And as for splitting---why not even the tiniest weeniest crack was evident!
