People... need a time to laugh. It's up to us to bonk ourselves on the head and slip on a banana peel so the average guy can say, 'I may be bad, honey, but I'm not as much of an idiot as that guy on the screen.'

I cannot go to Montreal without going to Beauty's, my favorite place for breakfast, where I have the Mish-Mash omelet with hot dogs, salami, eggs, green peppers, and onions, and the best banana bread in the world. It's legendary!

I was not very strong growing up, and my uncle used to look at me, like, 'This kid is not growing up, he is growing tall but he can be broken like a banana.' The banana in Congo is called 'Dikembe.' So my uncle start calling me, 'Dikembe, Dikembe, look at you Dikembe, you cannot even stand up.' It took a long time for me to walk.

When I was living in Mexico and writing a book called 'Aztec,' I had to make a deliberate effort to ignore a lot of the 'typically Mexican landscape' around me - banana and citrus groves, roses and carnations, burros and toros - because they did not exist in Mexico in the 15th century, the time of my book.

Josh was mortified in the beginning, but now he's completely hooked. I want to sit down, and I want to laugh. Nothing works better for me than watching somebody slip on a banana peel.

I think the Gap had to come up with something new. It's possible they're trying to target the baby boomers next. Old Navy has been driving growth for the Gap Inc. but it's starting to slow.

Banana Republic has been doing great but there's a limited opportunity to expand it further.

Some growers have lost their entire banana plantations.

It feels a little bit more like we're in a banana republic than sort of the leading country in the world with a 7 percent move up, 3 percent moves down last week. So it's certainly not a market that investors can do a whole lot with in a methodical, systematic, thoughtful way.

The situation in Central America is bad and we are terribly concerned for the people. The companies are doing everything they can to assist government agencies in their relief efforts. We have not been able to assess just how extensive the damage is, but the effects on the U.S. and European banana markets is going to be substantial.

A show of police force worthy of a banana republic is the latest attraction on the cobbled streets of Georgetown.

This is the maraschino cherry on the banana split of bad luck I have been having,

That means that the next government in Fiji will not be able to relax either. Fiji is fast heading down the road of becoming known as a banana republic,

The banana is good for retaining water, and the sugar brings me up. It's going to look like oatmeal when it's done, but it tastes much better.

I normally don't love green juices, but Body & Eden makes theirs tasty by blending ingredients like avocado and banana with the usual suspects like kale and spinach.

I know he respects me, he's fooling himself. I just hope he wears that banana hat in the ring.

Gap is regaining market share, and its marketing initiatives continue to benefit the company. The company last fall reduced its product assortment by 30 percent at its namesake store and at its Old Navy and Banana Republic divisions. So it's moving away from the overly fashion-forward mix and narrowing its product lines.

He's made three or four goals in the last three years that I need to see that again on tape before I can believe it. He's had a couple of jaw-dropping goals from impossible angles and banana shots.
