Should banana-less polls be allowed?
Ought polls without a "banana" option to be permitted?

change my vote to NO

the options are confusing - it should be "Yes, I hate bananas" or "No, I like bananas"

I remember the days when I was an ignorant heathen, and I believed in the strawberry.

But then some of the Apolytoners were kind enough to show me the error of my ways.

The banana option has been around ALMOST as long as the ability to create polls. It must stay!

I support the removal of the Banana option.

Rather, I support the "This is Stupid" Option.

I believe bananas are our are future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let bananas' laughter remind us how we used to be

has anyone done a search to find the first usage of the banana option in polls?

That person should be an automatic inductee into the hall of fame
