National Banana Day

Take a bite of the fruit on the third Wednesday in April, which also makes a good prop for gags on National Banana Day.

The day is centered on the nutrition of the fruit as well as the way comedy has used the banana in its performances. With B6 and C leading the way, this low-fat, low-calorie snack provides a boost in fiber, potassium,, and vitamins. It also contains a healthy gram of protein. Add a banana to your morning cereal or grab one to go with your granola. They also give baked goods so much delicious flavor. Many bakers are aware that when bananas turn brown, they will toss them in the freezer for baking muffins and breads later.

Anybody goes a little bananas when they slip on a peel, as far as the hum goes. Is it the peel of laughter that makes them go bananas? Get your comedy routine up and running by holding the banana like a phone.
