Some Thoughts on Bananas

I'm really going to miss bananas when they're all wiped out by plagues, a few of which are already destroying legions of cloned banana trees. Someone will breed a plague-resistant variety, the banana-two, but it won't be quite the same, and we'll say to our grandkids, "You just don't know what a real banana tastes like." An old lady will die, and in her freezer her grandson will find an actual, frozen banana-one, and sell it at auction for $10 million.
