Mike...Are you from the "south"...There seems to be some kind of connection
between southerners and banana pudding...I became aware of this a couple of
years ago when I was visiting my son who lives in Georgia...He attends a small
"Community Church" which is pastored by a fine southern gentleman ....who wears
his hair in the same manner as I do (don't have any)...In every sermon which I
have heard him preach there has never been one into which he did not inject a
reference to "Banana Pudding".
In some other venue I heard someone whom I knew was from the south mention his
undying love for BP...
Well I just thought I'd throw that it at no extra charge.

Small bills please, or maybe banana pudding and several spoons.
