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.
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 learned so much from this, dang.
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.
