Which is easier to make a model airplane out of and why: a banana peel or a wet sock?
I heard that if you smoke a banana peel you can fly so high that you'll think you are a model. Never mind your 250 pounds. While you are at it and flying, you can take the wet socks north of the Brooks range, pee on them, let them freeze then you have wings for the plane that you will make with the banana that hopefully you did not eat before smoking the peel. Bye Ema.
