I worked with someone who had two thumbs on each hand.

And here’s Antony Balch’s 1968 revision, with narration delivered by (and obviously written by) William Burroughs, and an avant-jazz score by Daniel Humair featuring Jean-Luc Ponty. The currently available restored print is the better version, but this one’s got its charms:

Why do math majors love Halloween?
Because OCT 31 = DEC 25
(We are breaking out the bad Halloween jokes, right?)

Did they have fingers too? Or were they all thumbs?
Speaking of the lemur, or aye-aye as it’s called: I sent this link to my wife and she replied “oh, so it’s a nautical animal.” I didn’t think much about it, figuring she thought it was like a seal or something. Today she mentioned it again; I thought it was just a random thought – she had to explain that “aye-aye” was what a sailor says.

'Twas Halloween evening and through the abode,
Not a creature was stirring, not even a toad.
Jock o’ lanterns were hung on the gallows with care,
To guide sister witch as she flies through the air.
And she calls out to them,
Come flitter, come flutter, come flapper and flyer
Come chitter, come chatter, come vicious vampire.

The reviewer is kinder than I. I just tried this and thought it pretty foul. I didn’t identify the artificial banana instead detecting artificial chocolate. Other online reviewers claim it’s meant to be both.
A possibly interesting note about the name: The name 黑魔钥 (Black Magic Key) is a homonym for 黑魔药 (Black Magic Potion). Fanta may not have been permitted to use the latter as it contains the character for medicine. (Although, that would help excuse the taste.)

I don’t think I’ve ever had any artificial banana flavored product I cared for, and I’ve never liked any chocolate soda (meaning Yoo-hoo and its ilk, not ice cream drinks).

My ex-MIL said that during WWII in England (her childhood) a lot of the dessert-type stuff had artificial banana flavouring in it. Consequently she couldn’t stand anything banana, fake or real, as an adult.

Yeah. My dad was in Eastern Europe during the same time period, and he could remember the first time he had a banana. They just disappeared from since places for 15 years.

Some people think “banana flavor” was meant to imitate the Gros Michel banana, which is not what we eat anymore. Others say the flavor is just a simple chemical and the similarity is a coincidence.
