Now diagnose this quote.

"Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana."

It's based on a figure of speech called an antanaclasis which works by repeating a single word but with a different meaning each time it is used. A famous example is Benjamin Franklin's: "We must all hang together, or we shall all hang separately."

There's also a wikipedia entry on that quote:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_flies_like_an_arrow;_fruit_flies_like_a_banana

:mrgreen:
Bananas don't fly man.

Just sayin.
And sayin'
AND sayin'

I love that quote, but it goes like this:

"We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately.

Yeah I snipped it a bit.
