If you wake to find corn flakes and milk on you and the banana stuck in your ass, you have been another victim of the “cereal rapist”. 😃 ---

> [@Mississippienne](#): > > What girlfriend? My boyfriend wasn’t around and could hardly have devoured my banana. The mystery continues. So both your boyfriend and your banana have disappeared? Now, that’s strange…(unless they’re one and the same) ---

Do you eat bananas all the time? I know that, if it’s something I do all the time, I can forget I’ve done something. For example, I’ll not know if I’ve taken my medicine (so now I keep it keep a week’s worth in a bottle at a time, so I can easily count.) I also will be half way through a shower, and realize that, while I remember getting in the tub, I don’t remember actually turning the shower on. ---

In my office I have a coffee maker that makes one cup at a time. very often I will go to make a cup and find the cup’s full of ice cold coffee that I made hours ago and forgot about, gone to take a swig of coffee from an empty cup, or found a nice hot cup of coffee with no knowledge of making it. so either my coffee maker’s trying to slowly drive me mad or my short term memory is crapola. ---

You could have eaten it. I’ve eaten a banana a day for (mumble) years, and each banana-consuming session is astonishingly like the next banana-consuming session, day after day after day. I certainly don’t remember, ‘my, that was a delicious banana I ate this morning’. There’s the peel in the trashcan, and I don’t remember peeling the thing, either. ---

Speaking as a semi-professional food-thief, I find it inexcusable that the perp forgot to take the peel with him. I can only assure you that this WILL come up at the next meeting…failing to compost could create a larger than necessary karma-imbalance… Anyway, you can relax for now, we RARELY hit the same person twice. ---
