“There’s no hope of my beating any sense into you, but I’ll knock some of the ignorance out of you!”

-Everett True

Sometimes Everett’s angry chastising gets downright poetic. Here he throws out a one-liner worthy of an 80’s action movie, all because of a messy banana eater.

Where did the idea of slipping on banana peels even come from?

You ever step on one?

I set one up and pretended to slip on it as a joke, well, until my foot hit it and my head was instantly on the ground.

Turned out WAY funnier than what I had planned.

I learned so much from this, dang.

Next time tuck your chin. Also, slap the ground instead of trying to catch yourself. Couple times a week, practice a couple of these, until they become second nature:

No joke, everyone should learn to fall.

I tried it a few times as a kid and nobody found it slippery.

🤷🏻‍♂️ Must have got a bad banana.

I’ve read that it’s a visual euphemism for slipping on horseshit.
