When the “art” was first on display years ago it was eaten. But by an actual “performance artist” so it was okay.

I bet he was singing:

Yes, we have no bananas, we have no bananas today.

Day-o, day-o
Daylight come and we want go home
Day, me say day, me say day, me say day, me say day, me say day
Daylight come and we want go home
Work all night on a drink of rum
(Daylight come and we want go home)
Stack banana ‘til the morning come
(Daylight come and we want go home)
Come Mister tally man, tally me banana
(Daylight come and we want go home)
Come Mister tally man, tally me banana
(Daylight come and we want go home)
Lift six foot, seven foot, eight foot bunch
(Daylight come and we want go home)
Six foot, seven foot, eight foot bunch
(Daylight come and we want go home)
Day, is a day-o
(Daylight come and we want go home)
Day, is a day, is a day, is a day
(Daylight come and we want go home)
A beautiful bunch of ripe banana
(Daylight come and we want go home)
Hide the deadly black tarantula
(Daylight come and we want go home)
Lift six foot, seven foot, eight foot bunch
(Daylight come and we want go home)
Six foot, seven foot, eight foot bunch
(Daylight come and we want go home)
Day, is a day-o
(Daylight come and we want go home)
Day, is a day, is a day, is a day, is a day, is a day-o
(Daylight come and we want go home)
Come Mister tally man, tally me banana
(Daylight come and we want go home)
Come Mister tally man, tally me banana
(Daylight come and we want go home)
Day-o, day-o
(Daylight come and we want go home)
Day, me say day, me say day, me say day, me say day, me say day
(Daylight come and we want go home)

A black and rotting banana would be even more artistic. The dripping black smear would double the price.

How about a black and rotting banana, and then a fresh one as well next to it. That would actually be sort of interesting and would perhaps make people think.

If anything it would make an interesting science project for a third-grader.

Hey, think of it this way, the artist gets paid and the eater is no longer hangry. It is a twofer.

As one so-called artist said about 60 years ago...”Any thing I SPIT is art!”

I’m glad he enjoyed it. It wasn’t art. It wasn’t worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, any more than monkeys splattering paint on canvas can be called the production of art.

> So if I duct taped a banana to a wall, and call it art, I could get $120,000 for it?

Skip the banana art and make a “wish” sandwich. Sure to sell for big art $$$.

You’re welcome.
