Bananas on a boat superstition

[SkyDog58]

That superstition about green race cars was a U. S. oval track racing thing. It didn't exist in sports car racing types here or in Europe.

Gaston Chevrolet (younger brother of Chevrolet Motor's founder Louis) won the Indianapolis 500 in 1920 with a green car. Later that year, he was killed driving the same car in another race. After that the color green was avoided in US open wheel racing until Jim Clark won Indy in a green car in 1965.

Gotta love superstition.

Oh, it's any monkey. They aren't welcome at all aboard the banana boat.

Discrimination eh? You let the snakes and zika onboard. Just saying.

Well to be fair, those snakes are masters of camouflage.

Wholly banana! What is that? I know you googled looking for one to put on here so fess up!

I just googled 'banana snake' and it came up, along with some others. Not sure what type it really is though I think it might be a python.
