  It wasn’t a disease, it was a loose seal that got his hand.

    Missing some context here (?)

    I was just saying that banana monoculture combined with specialized fungi could mean that we don’t have bananas for much longer, at least not for as cheap as they are now

      In the show Arrested Development, where the quote referenced in XKCD originated, a character looses their hand to a seal that is set loose (a loose seal).

      It’s tenuous at best.

        The name of his mother is Lucille. He loose hand to loose seal. Also his lover is named Lucille later in the show. It’s a whole character thing.

        ah thanks, I did miss some context there. I think I watched the first 1 or 2 episodes until a banana stand with a lot of money inside burned down or something. Didn’t catch me

  How much do you pay for a Gros Michel nowadays?
