You touched a nerve when you mentioned banana splits. Many many years ago when I was 15 I worked at an ice cream/hamburger joint as an underaged and untrained server.

A trucker showed up one afternoon and ordered a banana split. I had one banana which I cut lengthwise as well as a good part of my finger. I was bleeding heavily into the banana boat.

I wrapped my finger around a towel and finished making the split. I noticed the split was very red so I added extra strawberries. With bleeding finger wrapped in a towel under the counter I served him the bloody split.

He ate the whole thing and left me a decent tip. I broke numerous health codes and I hope to this day the trucker was okay and NEVER acquired a taste for blood.

I got the finger bandaged and it eventually healed.

I never made or ate another banana split which I think was a good idea for everybody!

MUCH better crops of Tweets this week when compared to last week's abysmal offering. Particularly like the Exorcist, Optician, and Crow tweets
