Flying bananas

[Svrtnsse]

"Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana."

I'm sure you've all heard it before. I know I had, but I hadn't really spent too much thought on it. Then someone linked me this article and I found it kind of amusing: Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Yes, I know some of you don't approve of wikipedia, feel free to ignore this post.

I enjoy this sort of wordplay, and I've no issue with Wikipedia. Where it is accurate, it tells us the facts about the world. Where it is inaccurate, it tells us facts about the people who wrote the article, which tells us facts about the world.

I did that too - for years...

Or this, which I think really is from Groucho, but which in any case is apropos to a writing forum:

Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend.
Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read.
