I buy the juice from the store. As well as strawberries, blackberries, raspberries and blueberries. Bananas are just as dangerous as cartoons depict them. In the early 20th century (1900-1930), banana peels caused many accidents and fatalities that it became the first thing that discouraged littering in urban areas. Oranges?

The tables' tops were covered in metal, with a bench vise mounted at each end. He loosely held the punch between two fingertips with its point lightly resting on the anvil flat on the back of the vise. Then he lightly hit the punch with a hammer. The intended result was for the punch to just fall to the table. What happened instead was the punch glanced off the table and flew arrow straight down the table, with the apex of its flight intersecting with the left lens of the safety glasses of a boy who was leaning forward to watch. Fortunately the punch just missed his head as it pierced the lens and continued its flight the rest of the way down the table and onto the floor. He didn't even get any glass in his eye. (Yup, they were glass "safety" glasses, not polycarbonate like modern-day ones.) The teacher said he'd done that demo for 20 years and nothing like that had ever happened. That was the last time he demonstrated improper use of a center punch. Here’s my flying object story. 7th grade metal shop, the teacher was demonstrating how NOT to use a center punch.

My group did pretty good until we did rear end collision [before we were just slamming them into a wall full of nails]. This comic, reminds me of that situation because one of my poor egg people, I do believe it was Burton, was thrown so violently from the vehicle, that he was impaled on a nail. R.I.P. Burton.
