There's a fruit store on our street It's run by a Greek. And he keeps good things to eat But you should hear him speak! When you ask him anything, he never answers "no". He just "yes"es you to death, and as he takes your dough He tells you "Yes, we have no bananas We have-a no bananas today. We've string beans, and onions Cabashes, and scallions, And all sorts of fruit and say We have an old fashioned tomato A Long Island potato But yes, we have no bananas. We have no bananas today."

I like potato.
Let's call the whole thing off.
channeling eggagog!
Meanwhile, down the block, Oy-sters and Err-sters duke it out, probably based on price...
Potato is Ann's grandchild. This is a ransom note. A disturbingly cheerful one.
Dan,
That guy at saneworks.us needs an editor. No, he needs a team of editors. An army of editors.
There's a fruit store on our street
It's run by a Greek.
And he keeps good things to eat
But you should hear him speak!
When you ask him anything, he never answers "no".
He just "yes"es you to death, and as he takes your dough
He tells you
"Yes, we have no bananas
We have-a no bananas today.
We've string beans, and onions
Cabashes, and scallions,
And all sorts of fruit and say
We have an old fashioned tomato
A Long Island potato
But yes, we have no bananas.
We have no bananas today."
"Potato is Ann's grandchild."
Oh, the Professor's sort of like Blythe Danner, whose offspring tend to name children after produce?
