A banana duct-taped to a wall sold for $6.2 million yesterday at a Sotheby’s auction.
The man who bought it plans to eat the banana.
Now, if this had been a chewed wad of gum stuck to the bottom of a school desk, or
a peeling Scratch and Sniff sticker on a worn out 80s binder, then maybe.
But this, this
is not even bananas, it’s just nuts.

I was on the road this week, so I’m short on time this morning catching up. Plus, I need to go to the market and buy some bananas. I’m suddenly in the mood. I’ll share my commentary next week.
Have a meaningful weekend!
