    Well, hazel, when two bananas reaaaaaaallllyy love each other....

    Sorry, had to do it. I seem to remember a post about this fairly recently. The bananas were already here when I joined the forum though, so I can't offer much insight.

    Hi.

    I don't think this is directly related, but I have always liked the enthusiasm this story illustrates:
    The Golden Banana Award. A Hewlett-Packard Company engineer burst into his manager’s office in Palo Alto, CA to announce he’d just found the solution to a problem the group had been struggling with for many weeks. His manager quickly groped around his desk for some item to acknowledge the accomplishment and ended up handing the employee a banana from his lunch with the words, "Well done. Congratulations!" The employee was initially puzzled, but over time the Golden Banana Award became one of the most prestigious honors bestowed on an inventive employee.
