Dos and Don'ts of buying bananas in Ann Arbor

Don't: Buy from that guy outside of BTB at 3am. "This shit is b-a-n-a-n-a-s, man. I'm practically giving it away at $20 a banana, yo!" All this man is giving away is that he's a dumbass. You're better off scraping your peel for banana-resin and buying $20 worth of burritos instead (which is still a stupid idea).


Do: buy that cheap quarter from the guy who just came back from his hometown in Podunkville, MI. It won't be any discernible strain, but a penny saved is a penny earned, right? Your parents would be so proud of you.


Don't: pay in advance. You trust your friend, your friend trusts his friend, and he trusts his dealer's mother's new hookup, but somewhere along the line, someone's too full to give a fuck. Someone will flake out, and you'll be shit out of both luck and bananas.


Do: make friends with people in co-ops. They're all living together to help each other out and shit, right? It's like we're all one consciousness, floating in a sea of bullshit where - hey man, you wanna peel this banana?


Don't: buy from that guy who showed up at the party with a fohawk and a bag of brown bananas that doesn't even ziplock. Isn't it past his bedtime anyway?


Do: shop around. People sell at $60 per bunch because people at UofM have too much money, not because it's worth that much. You won't find coupons for Cali plantains in the flashes, but if you're not too full already, you can find a better deal elsewhere.
