Now just a darn minute there! First, Tea has no right to sell it. I bought the damn thing, not her. And second, yes she does accept bananas, though there is often some spirited discussion as regards who gets to eat them.
In any case, the Giver is complaining that she needs to loose weight, and suggests that bananas should not appear on her diet. I wholeheartedly agree with him, infofar as I too love bananas, but might perhaps point out that she has not a single ounce of fat on her: it is all muscle.
Have you never stopped to wonder how Buck and DB mysteriously always seem to fall asleep under the bar every night, and yet are not there in the mornings? There is in fact a simple explanation for this happenstance: Tea usually picks them up on her way out, one under each arm, and puts them somewhere tidy. Normally she deposits Buck in his bed and DB in the gutter, but I understand that she got a little confused the other night, after a couple too many gin and tonics, and put DB in Buck's bed and Buck in the gutter.
This, no doubt, is why DB has not been seen for a little while, and why Buck has been looking a little rumpled lately.
Oh .. 170 bananas? Sold!
PS: we could get rich doing this.
