Apples, oranges and bananas


The expression:  Comparing apples to oranges.  Wouldn’t it be more fun to say:  Comparing apples to bananas.  Banana is a funnier word.  And bananas, is even funnier.  As in:  He went bananas over being chosen rodeo clown of the year.  Nobody goes oranges over being chosen for anything.
Besides, the shapes of apples and bananas are more dissimilar.  I’ve never seen a round banana.  And nothing rhymes with orange.  Except splorange.
