The reproductive process of Bananas aside, have you *never* been offered banana nut bread?
If not, my guess is that you've never lived in the south. Banana nut bread is a tasty way of dealing with your overripe-to-the-point-of-not-being-edible-straight bananas. My grandmother used to make it. Dan's aunt makes it. My friend Janie makes it. My friend Tanya makes it. It's nice stuff.
Yes. And too bad I don't know and live next door to any of the aforementioned people, as you have made me hungry.
(And IMO, nicer than zucchini bread or zucchini nut bread, which I've been offered and have determined really, really needs to have some cream cheese with it.)
Whereas banana nut bread is good by itself, and excellent warm with some butter on it . . .

Or that penguins tend not to be coated in any sort of substance that Ronn! would want badly enough to lick a penguin for.
You are correct. Frex, I have never seen or heard of a chocolate-covered penguin, and I expect that the little bits of feather might detract from the enjoyableness of the licking experience . . .
(I don't think he'd lick a toad, but I've met people who would.)
No. And I hope none of those toads decide to take up residence around here, as the toxin in their skins has been known to kill dogs and cats who tried to catch one. I have even wondered if that might have been what happened to the dog I had years ago: when we got up one morning, we found him sick and throwing up and he didn't make it to the vet's office. We never saw any toads in the yard, but we never found out what might have happened to him, either.
