      It’s an in-joke I have with the guy who looks after the observatory I work at. “La peche?” (the peach) means “how are you doing?”, and so I started giving other fruits. I talk about bananas, because, well, they look a bit like a willy, and I still have the mental age of a five-year-old.

      Check out this page of banana / astronomy facts, though! /speedj13-zone/2013/06/14/is-there-something-astronomical-about-bananas/

      (Note: I don’t actually have the mental age of a five year old, but even grown-ups like dirty jokes).
