Allie:  Do you ever wonder about bananas?
Ryan:  All the time.
Allie:  I mean, they’re so easy to peel.  The perfect outside protecting the mushy inside.  Edible completely separate from the inedible.
Ryan:  Why does that confuse you?
Allie:  It just doesn’t make sense.  And how does that benefit the banana in any way?  It’s not like it can peel itself to spread its seed.
Ryan:  That sort of thing doesn’t really bother me.
Allie:  It doesn’t bother you?
Ryan:  It’s a matter of convenience.
Allie:  How is that convenient for the fruit itself?
Ryan:  You damn evolutionist, you.
Allie:  Are you telling me that you believe the banana is so easily peelable because that’s the way God made it?
Ryan:  Yup.  He wanted to make it easy to eat.
Allie:  Oye.
Ryan:  That’s why he didn’t make chickens come plucked and pre-cooked.  Because we weren’t supposed to eat animals.
Allie:  Oh no.  You’re telling me that not only are you religious, but you’re also a vegetarian?
Ryan:  No.
Allie:  Wait, but I though we weren’t supposed to eat animals.
Ryan:  That was before Eve ate the apple.  We’re clear now.
Allie:  Okay, granted, I don’t know the story that well… but I feel like I would have heard the part where God told “Eve” that she could chow down on her furry friends.
Ryan:  The bible doesn’t go in depth so much when it comes to the progression of eating.  But they didn’t eat animals before the apple, and they did after.
Allie:  How do you know that?  Does it say that somewhere?
Ryan:  God told me.
Allie:  Did he speak through George W?  Because I must say, I don’t think he’s as much of a direct conduit as he claims.
Ryan:  If he is a conduit, someone needs to talk to God about raising his standards. 
Allie:  And why don’t we talk to America about that while we’re at it.
Ryan:  I’m on it.  Can I finish my beefstick now?
Allie:  Go ahead, my child.  Go ahead.

After reading this I could not help but think about how last Night I played a blank tape at full blast. The Mime next door went nuts.
