I remember an episode of "Captain Kangaroo" many, many moons ago, where Mr. Green Jeans invented a telephone that looked exactly like a banana. The Captain found it and ate it, to Mr. Green Jeans' dismay. After that, they had to dial the phone by tickling Captain Kangaroo on the stomach.
As a child, I thought this was howlingly funny -- bananas are, after all, the funniest fruit in existence. As an adult, I wonder what drugs Mr. Moose and Bunny Rabbit were slipping into everyone's food...
