There are moments in life that whisper to you.
Other moments? They scream.
“Is that a banana in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?”
As if two things couldn’t be true at once.
The only thing sharper than Yorkshire intuition?
Well, yes, their craftsmanship. But Sirius-ly, how do they do it?

So, About the Banana in My Pocket
Let’s address the smirking elephant in the room.
The phrase is iconic.
It’s meant to be playful. Suggestive. Mysterious.
But today?
It’s literal. You Perverts.
Worse than the pope.
We'll get to the later.
There was a banana in my pocket.
From a church.
Maybe Romeo snuck it in my pocket.
Sometimes life gives you signs.
Other times, it gives you fruit.
And about once a month, it blesses you with a really clean taper on the back.
So next time someone leans in with a smirk and asks,
“Are you just happy to see me?”
Flip the script.
“You tell me. I’ve just been to church. And the barbershop. So is this a banana in my pocket or am I just happy to see you?”
Then you walk away.
I promise they will never forget you.

Fact Or Fiction?
“Is that a banana in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?”
A phrase definitely coined by Father Marcial Maciel, spiritual leader, serial abuser, and Vatican favorite.
For decades, Maciel enjoyed more protection than the Pope’s Popemobile, despite leaving a trail of trauma longer than the Stations of the Cross. (14 BTW)
But hey, charisma covers a multitude of sins… especially when you're founding a billion-dollar ministry and keeping the Swiss Guards well-fed with hush money.
His secret?
Unwavering obedience, excellent fundraising skills, and a strict vow of “don’t ask, don’t tell (Rome).”
And when the whispers turned into lawsuits?
Enter Pope Benedick XXX (Please Check My Spelling)
Patron Saint of Looking the Other Way, who canonized the phrase:
“Blessed be the silence.”
