Yes, We have no Bananas

In 1633 Mr. Thomas Johnson, a botanist, introduced the Banana to London, England. He ran an Apothecary Shoppe, featuring plants and herbs with healthful virtues. He authored and co-authored many books of longterm interest. Mr. Johnson is the “Father of British Field Botany”.

Still, he did not find those Bananas in a British field, that’s certain. The popular guess is they came from Bermuda.

You may also wonder how long it took for the public to see the potential humor in Banana peels. Not long, We imagine.

Don’t grow ’em like they used to

Older Rhinos often complain that their veggies don’t taste like back when. They’re saltier, spicier, or duller, or… well, different. There are explanations of this phenomenon, not all of them associated with Rhinos aging.

The most noteworthy fact is that the Earth itself is changing all the time. Soil is not a passive participant in a plant’s development. Like everything else, the soil is in process, and that affects the plants that grow in it.

Also, the plants themselves are responding to Natural forces, developing in ways that suit them, without consideration of Rhino preferences. “Sort of inconvenient,” We Rhinos mutter.

Inklings

Yes, indeed. Hunches descend when least expected, taking the passing Rhino unawares. They come in varied flavors from the Quasi-Hunch to the Demi (or Semi) Hunch, to the full blown Bolt from the Blue (the Maxi-Hunch). 
 
In some respects these can be thrilling, depending on the Nature of the revelation. The Thinking was one way, and suddenly it’s another. Makes Us stop in our tracks, and in extreme cases, totter.
 
Hunches take practice. Understandably, Rhinos prefer our Hunches widely spaced.

AWOL

Once and again, a Rhino will discover that their Brain has taken an unpredicted holiday. It happens. We do not panic. Rhinos wait for the Brain’s return, which is usually soonish. Or at least sooner or later.

What We recommend is that any Rhino in this iffy condition should keep their mouth shut, except to chew.

Right?
