BANANA MANIA

In Southampton, England, a woman was doing her weekly grocery shopping when she spotted some imported Guatemalan bananas. A big fan of Central American bananas, the woman picked out several bunches. As she picked up one bunch, she felt a tingling sensation in her hand, but thought nothing of it and paid for the bananas. As the woman was loading the groceries into her car, she suddenly felt dizzy and collapsed. The poor woman died before she reached the hospital. The coroner was intrigued to discover that the woman had been the victim of a poisonous snake bite and, when the police found out that she had just purchased some Guatamalan bananas, they concluded that the snake must've been hidden among the fruits. The snake was never found and, to this day, people believe there are poisonous snakes in Southampton.
