Delicious but deadly! That’s bananas for you. Statistics prove it: More people are killed each year by slipping on a banana skin than from shark attacks and ingrown toenails combined!

   Here are the ten places you should absolutely NEVER drop your banana skin!

#1 At the top of a flight of stairs.

#2 Outside a store selling crystal goblets.

#3 At the exit of a maternity ward.

#4 On the rim of an active volcano.

#5 Ahead of two men carrying a piano.

#6 Beside an open sewer in a heat wave.

#7 In front of a pyramid of monkeys on a unicycle.

#8 Two steps ahead of an enormously fat woman walking a very tiny poodle.

#9 Near to an open grave.

#10 Behind someone who has just built a model of the Leaning Tower of Pisa entirely out of matchsticks.

Okay, I know they’re biodegradable, but remember ... a good bananaphile always disposes of their banana skins safely.
