"...Or are you eating a banana?"

[Jonathan Lighter]

When I was a teen in 1963 I heard the following line as an example of a "cool insult" :

  "Is that your nose or are you eating a banana?"

  A search finds several dozen raw Googlits between 1993 and now, so I guess we must now consider the inquiry as proverbial.
