Once upon a time in the land of Knowitallia, there lived two very wise men. At least, that’s what their business cards said.
The first was Professor Pompous, who wore a hat so tall it needed its own postal code.
The second was Doctor Dither, who spoke in five languages, none of them correctly.
One day, they met in the town square and instantly disagreed about something extremely important:
The two very wise men yelled, “Which end of a banana you're supposed to peel first!”
“Obviously, one peels from the top,” said Professor Pompous.
“Utter nonsense!” said Doctor Dither. “The bottom is the beginning!”
Soon, a crowd gathered to witness the battle of brilliance. They argued for hours. Charts were drawn. A small interpretive dance broke out. Someone brought a banana.
Both men peeled it at the same time, from opposite ends—and the banana shot out like a rocket, hitting the mayor.
The crowd gasped. The mayor sighed.
“You two may be wise, but you’re not very bright.”
Moral of the Story:
Two wrongs don’t make a right.
But they can make a banana split.
