Bannanen

Berlin received its first shipment of "real" bananas in a year. The word "real" was inserted in the despatch to prevent confusion with the well known German song, Ach, wir haben keinen bannanen, heute. Shipments arrived from Holland and England and 60,000 cases were placed on the market at the Hamburg docks. Heretofore the anti-luxury act has forbidden bananas, oranges.
