I never knew that one could wear an old school banana jumpsuit with such pride in the modern era, but evidently Ken Bannister does. He is the founder of the 'International Banana Club and Museum' and he has the duds to prove it.
Banana jumpsuit aside, the International Banana Club and Museum is making waves with news that the site where the banana mecca is currently located is going to "split" (I had to). Too bad, as the museum is not only the holder of the Guinness World Record for the "world's largest collection devoted to any one fruit" and it is also the only place to see a banana jumpsuit.
