I didn’t quite SLIP on one. It was in my school’s courtyard and I was running. I stepped on it and slid for a good four feet. But I didn’t fall over. Nor was it on purpose.
I saw 4 people slip and fall on bananas for like 5 minutes. Guy was delivering them. One fell he stepped on it and slipped. He dropped the crate spilling bananas everywhere. the 3 folks who came over to help began slipping on them. After the rest of us made sure everyone was alright, we laughed for a good hour straight.
I have a friend who once stomped on a banana peel with all her (100 pounds of) might. She didn’t slip, but darn was it funny. Bananasplosion resulted. Also, her lj name resulted, bananamasher.
Like a previous poster, I’ve skidded on a banana peel but never actually gone arse over tip. The only times I’ve done that it was either on ice or through stepping on something like a plastic bag at the wrong moment.
Grape, once. Slippery little buggers, those are. Indeed, one of our local grocery stores got sued once when someone slipped on a grape (not me, mine was in my kitchen when several escaped and I stepped on one). But no banana peels. I’m sure it really does happen, though.
I’ve been able to avoid that one. My best fall was back when I was in elementary school. After school, I was running across the grass field used for gym and sports when I hit a hidden puddle (more like a hidden lake). My feet shot out from under me when I reached the puddle’s edge. I ended up on my head in the middle puddle. I’m glad I didn’t need any help because my friends were laughing their butts off on the other side of the field. They couldn’t see the puddle either. I was soaked and everything in my backpack was ruined. At least my mom didn’t laugh too much when I got home.
A couple of friends of mine, being idiots as usual; one threw the banana peel at the other’s face and ran away, the other threw the banana peel at the first friend who promptly slipped on it in full tilt. One of the funniest moments of high school.
OMG!!!! Probably the funniest thing I have ever in my life seen!!!! This needs a setup, I still play baseball with the guy that this happened to, and I laugh my ass off at least once a season just looking at him and remembering the “fall”. We used to have a stage in our high school cafeteria, which for some reason had a ping-pong table on it, and a bunch of guys that I hung around with would gather around and wait for our turn at whacking the ball at each other. This specific day during our “spare” (a non class class), my friend was eating a banana, and when finished threw it off the stage and laughed that it would be funny to see someone fall on it. Then his turn came up, after playing for a bit the ping-pong ball was hit off the stage, my friend ran and jumped of the stage following the ball, about three strides after landing he hit the banana peel at full pace, flew up into the air, feet going higher than his head (just like in the cartoons) and landed on his back on top of a full length (12′) cafeteria table…. I have never laughed as hard in my entire life….
Not me, but I did have a “Three Stooges”/cartoony accident once…
I actually slammed against a glass door, my friends there swear it was just like a toon, and my face was flattened and deformed too…
The fact that I actually did that silly sound toons make when shaking their heads after these kind of situations made it even funnier… for them…
I think I actually tried to step on a banana peel as a kid, just for kicks…
…2nd grade, class picnic, in the gym cause it was raining. This kid had been running from group to group, picking on the geeks. Teacher’s kid, nobody saying shit to him. Whacked me on the head twice in a row, and went on his rounds. I hid a banana peel under a paper napkin right in his path, and on his third trip around he nailed it. Eight stitches in his occipital and he missed the rest of the school year.
not in real life, but in the pilot of Dead Like Me, a guy slips on one, and it’s the most incredibly complex scene. Great stuff.
i have. but i’m goofy.
On purpose, yes.
I wouldn’t WANT to know anyone who was messy enough to leave a banana peel on the floor!!
Imagine the fruit fly problem!
PS, Your comics are steadily getting creepier and cooler.

Me too.
I DID.

THE END
-raises hand gingerly-
Worst “Three Stooges” moment, ever.
I have. I don’t remember when it was, but I can keenly remember the irony.

I know no one who’s slipped on a banana peel!

Luckily no
I havent slipped on a banana peel, I slipped on ice over a year ago and cracked a rib, that was painful. But, no banana peels for me.
Once, in elementary school, someone left one outside and I stepped on it and my foot skidded out from under me…
I caught myself, though.
i’ve done the skid, and i’ve done the step, have one leg go over my head and end up on my arse.
in both cases i blinked then burst out laughing.

Banana peel, plus frozen parking lot, plus just warm enough to melt just a little ice, equals NO friction what so ever.
Monday comic… first panel… THE EYES! SO FRIGGIN CREEPY! MGAH!

I tried, once, but couldn’t figure out the knack of it.
Thanks.

No regrets.
