I’m bamboozled at the price of bananas.  How can they be so cheap when they’re grown so far away?  Imagine how much gobsmacking happened when I got a package of over-ripe bananas for 19¢ a pound yesterday!  In my world, they’re still acceptable for eating, but then again, I’ll eat a banana at any ripeness.  Logan twisted my arm into making some banana bread with half our banana bounty.
