Old-time memory

If you are of a certain age, you remember a Donovan lyric, 'Electrical Banana', in the song, "Mellow Yellow". If not, don't worry about it, you're prob'ly too young. Donovan was (is) gay, but no one knew about that stuff in those days. Anyway, when people asked him about EB, he had to come up w/something that made sense to the masses. The real EB was a battery operated vibrator, but that was NOT PC at the time. SOOO, being the sharp guy he was, he said EB meant smoking the fibrous part of a banana would get you high. Those strands, on the side, when you peel a banana... SOOO, a LOT of us, dried the EB out, and smoked it. Surprise, NO buzz. But, Donovan had to be laughing his ass off, cause he fooled us all. EB was a vibrator, which the gays really liked, but he couldn't tell us what it really was. So we smoked banana tendrils, and never figured it out. 'Twas the 60's. You had to be there, to appreciate the joke...
