Enchanted Banana of Happiness

The Enchanted Banana of Happiness is very similar to the Magical

Grapefruit of Love. Not to say that one is superior in message, but the

wishes are fairly similar. The difference is that some prefer bananas

to grapefruits and vice-versa. Thus for a variety of fruity choices, I

introduce to the world the Enchanted Banana of Happiness.

This banana has been given to you by someone who thinks that you are

extra fabulous. The giver may be anyone from boy/girlfriend, pal, best

friend, or even a Hausfrau. In any case you have enchanted this person

with your bananalike qualities (smile, sense of humor, or just plain

esthetically pleasing, good looks), and he/she finds you interesting,

possibly even attractive, but definitely you are a pretty good reason to

be alive. Now whether this person finds you attractive or not is an

entirely different question all together.

This is merely a token of gratitude and/or affection for you to

ponder. Like the Grapefruit, the proper response for the Enchanted

Banana of Happiness is a hug and a smile (bananas are always smiling)

within a week of receiving the Enchanted Banana of Happiness.

If you are out of range to where this response is not feasible, you

may respond with a letter of thanks. Basically this Enchanted Banana of

Happiness is a way of saying "You make me happy, and I don't know if you

know this yet, but you are ultimately cool."

Sorry if you expected an actual banana. The type of equipment that I

am dealing with will not allow me to send actual fruit by computer.

Eventually the miracle of science will allow an actual banana to travel

through the phone lines.

Rest assured though that someone thinks that you are a really rockin'

guy/girl and that if you were lost in the same state they would

definitely give you directions.

The sender of the Enchanted Banana of Happiness requires only one

thing from you -- (besides the aforementioned hug and smile) that you

bequeath this Enchanted Banana of Happiness upon another. The Enchanted

Banana of Happiness grows in smiley power every time it is received by

another, someday you may receive this enchanted fruit again. Pass it

on.

Remember the elation you experienced when you first received it? If

you send it on you may feel this again. This is not a chain letter.

Nothing bad will happen if you do not send it on, but think of the

bright spot it might put in the day of someone who is truly spiffy.

Tell them how nifty they are and spread the joy of the Enchanted Banana.
