Battling the Banana...

[Latimeria]

I forgot to add this to the start of the adventure, so I'll just start a new post.

While we were driving up to Ventura, I saw this... and said, "what are you planning to do with that?"



He laughed and said that's his secret good luck charm on the boat fishing!  He wants to rub it in to all of his buddies who believe in the banana curse, but I guess didn't figure I was one of "Those Guys"...

I was hoping he would eat it in the car on the way up, but nope.  We got to the ramp and he made mention of the banana again. 

As we were unloading stuff on the dock and waiting for our ride, I slipped the banana under the car seat and said nothing.  He went up to park the car and we were off.  On the way, he asked where either of us put his banana and my response was "Last time I saw it was in the car...".  He was like, "I didn't see it... damn... well my car is going to smell like banana when we get back."

Fast forward to us returning to the docks.  He drove the car down to the ramp so we could load up the car.  I took this moment to place the banana right where it was before I hid it in the first place.  We get the car packed and he goes "Damn... it's right where I left it.  I must have really wanted to get out there fishing..."

I am never telling him this as I will continue to hide that vile fruit if I ever see it.  If I say something, I'm sure those guys would bring bushels of bananas the next time we go.

To HELL with those vile musa fruits!
