Leafing thru my recently purchased Mad about the Sixties came across a 
Don Martin cartoon which depicts this groovy dude chopping up some 'nanas 
peel, ground to fine powder, then stuffing into a little pipe, smoking, 
with no effect, gets mad, eyebrows all akinder that Don Martin way, takes 
a step, slips on the leftover 'nana peel, hits the back of his head on 
the counter, begins to see groovy things about the air, including stars, 
wavy clouds, and other fine points of trippiness flight...the myth 
continues, now about that nutmeg...
