As part of the admission procedure in the hospital, the nurse asked the patients if they were allergic to anything. If they were, the nurse would print it on an allergy band placed on the patients’ wrists.

Imagine the nurse’s surprise when several hours later a very angry son came out to the nurses’ station demanding, “Who’s responsible for labeling my mother ‘bananas’?”
