You know how in cartoons there's that old joke of slipping on a banana peel? How did that get started? Like did someone, or maybe a group of people start slipping on banana peels in olden days? Have any of you actually slipped on a banana peel?

I would think if they wanted to draw something slippery into their cartoon they might draw an oil slick or something.

"that old joke of slipping on a banana peel"

So why did they call the myth busted if they had just proven that the guy fell down over and over on the banana peels? Are they lying to us, too?

I'm going to go put on my tinfoil hat.
