BE Ch 9 summary - Chunky Monkey

[Allen Ruch]

Also, Sam Beckett saw the humorous a-peel of bananas, too: "Krapp's Last Tape," for instance. 

And David—"sorta?!?"

Even the word is funny,

    Other reasons Pynchon might like to include bananas in his novels:

    1.  They look sorta like penises, especially when they’re in your pocket,
    or when eaten in a suggestive manner.

    2.  Monkeys eat them in comical fashion.

    3.  People have been known to slip and fall (comically) on their peels.

    4.  When made into a cream pie, they are funny when smooshed into someone’s
    face.
