[78-L] "Yes, We Have No Bananas" POLL - book

[Rodger Holtin]

Extra credit for the guy who can tell us the name of the book this story
appeared in.  Wish I could remember.  I read it in high school in the 1960s.
Told my wife about it years later and she packed bananas when we went
junking.  Then we had kids and all that changed - along with the kids.

I heard the same story about collectors and bananas many years ago from Jim
Kidd. But please no squeeze-a da banana.
