me... a goddie... and a pineapple (rant)

You don't like grapes, either? What about frozen ones? No oranges, apples, bananas, or kiwi? What about a chocolate covered frozen banana? Now those are good and since they are frozen the texture is ok and the chocolate is like a super bonus. No fruit at all? What about tomatoes?

 

Tomatoes are yummy. I sometimes will eat the firmer ones like an apple...sprinkle salt on it before each bite. MMmmm....I think I'm hungry now.

I don't like them on sandwiches though...except a BLT, but not on burgers, that's for sure. Pickles, either. I dig pickles, but not on a sandwich.

 

I think it's a fruit.

LOL!

 

Ok Cottons, so the point you're making is that a banana as we know it is actually the fruit of a banana. Am I right?




Wait :::edit:::



That still isn't right though, because they are saying that the fruit is the thing that we know to be a banana so therefore it is a fruit.


Concede, damn it!!!!

 

You did it and didn't even know it. You said it was a fruit. "...therefore making it's fruit an herb as well."
