Well, I don't know about that, but the Bannan family were known scabies carriers and would quickly infect all the sailors on a vessel. The old time sailors soon figured out that their crotch only itched after a cruise if a Bannan was on board. Hence: Bannon=itchy crotch=sucks to be you=bad luck.Silverspoon wrote:It is an old wive's tale based on the fact that bananas float and when you found them floating on the water, it indicated a ship wreck of one of the many banana boats bringing bananas to the US from South and Central America.

Not really superstitious, but Sunday I was fishing and not catching. About noon my friend says, "I'm so hungry, I could eat this mirrodine."
I said "You didn't bring anything to eat?" He says "yeah, I brought a couple of nanners, but somehow they got soggy." I caught a snooklet and he got skunked. Just sayin'

I eat bananas all the time before I go fishing, great for some energy first thing in the morning.

I'll bet that in his effort to eat better,he packed what he thought was a healthy snack and forgot all about the bananna thing.
Still pretty friggin' stupid!

The superstition about bananas has been around along time, and I was well aware of it. Bananas are a great source of potassium and makes a for a great energy food. I use to eat them when I raced bicycles. Sam can atest for me, I had one along on this particular day. So much for superstitions
