augusto,
I do not think you have any friends left from Moira as you are being very
insensitive with an sensitive topic.
All the bananas from Moira are special. They are all special because Moira
bananas are known to
contain a radioactive element, potassium.
Last year while I was in Goa, I called Tony Baretto who has retired in Moira
and asked him if I could visit.
For those of you who do not know Tony Baretto, Tony used to live in Moshi,
Tanzania. Moshi is on the
slopes of Mt. Kilimanjaro and the the local tribe there, the Chagaa's, are
best known for their banana
beer. Legend is that while Tony's brother is famous for discovering the
Tanzanite gem, Tony is more
famous among the Chagaa's for discovering a faster way to ferment bananas. Tony
retired young as
he made his fortune as a brew master.
Tony told me to get to the Mapusa market and hire any Pilot to get to his
place. I asked the first Pilot
what the price of taking me to Moira was. The Pilot quoted me a price that
was half the rate of tat to Parra,
which is the same distance away. When I asked why, the Pilot answered, we have
colour codes for
villages and the danger code now for Moira is "yellow." So I jumped on the bike
and went to Tony's house.
By the time I got there, I was thirsty. Very thirsty. Tony met me at his
compound gate with, wait for this,
not a keg of banana beer but a "yellow cake" in his hand. Before I could ask
him if he was ok,
Tony said that because he was a patriotic Moiracar, he was on a quest to find
alternative uses for
his banana and one of the idea's he hit upon was "yellow cake."
"Yellow cake" would be important because:
1) The high levels of Moira bananas in the cake would mean high levels
of radioactivity and that
would attract the interest of those who wanted high radioactive substances.
2) High levels of potassium would also cause hyperkalemia or potassium
intoxication and thus one could
get the same kick while drinking tea and eating "yellow cake."
I now know that Tony was also hiding his ace card. He has authored the book,
"How to make a Moira
banana GLOW." Like you said, when the word does get out, the big pharma shares
will plummet and
Tony will be the top banana again.....
