They mentioned that the bananas in question were seedless and propagated by, I believe, runners.
That marathon runners or just joggers? Sorry, I'm an apple that's got the pip, and besides, Juan misspelled my name.

20 different kinds of banana
I read that the domestic banana - the edible variety - is susceptible to the aforementioned fungus (black something-or-other). Wild bananas are naturally immune - but they also have honkin' big hard seeds that render them reproducible, but inedible. That's wot I read, anyway....

So mebbe this means your nose is nice and clean inside now, after its tea enema....Or perhaps the only result was that now, all you can smell is tea...?!
I did the nose trick with grape juice once when I was small. It dyed the inside of my nose purple.

I meant 20 different kinds of edible banana, though some need cooking first. I think pisang raja (king bananas) have er.. honkin' big hard seeds but I don't remember seeing any in other types.

You don't use honkin' to mean big? I thought that was more or less universal slang.
"Jaysus Murphy, that was a big honkin' truck that nearly smashed into us!!!!!!!"
EDIT: Or honkin' big. And truck was a bad example because they actually honk. How about "honkin' big steak"?
(or something like that)
