Bisset versus the Banana

My fellow St Andrean Andrew Bisset reports in from auld Caledonia, recently incapacitated by a banana:

“Yes a banana. I had never eaten a banana, and I never will again. It turns out that I am alergic to them – I kid you not. As I [was masticating the fruit in question] I found my throat closing, my eyes blurring, and my chest pounding. And to finish off this heady cocktail I had the indignity of collapsing on the sink at work. Thus I have spent the last day recovering from this incovenient episode. Life has improved however as I am presently typing away with a glass of rum, and a havana in my hand after a lazy day in the sun – deserved I feel.”

Deserved indeed!
