… OkayOkay …. ‘Hold onto your Horses’ …. Here it goes….
“Money doesn’t grow on trees.”
… uh are you sure? cause the things that grow,
[aka FRUIT] … costs money …
Aaaand HAY, wait a minute …
isn’t paper money … literally MADE of trees?
lyke zomg wtf is going on ?!?!
mmm … lets dive deeper into our hair-brained theory;
… driving some of us clearly $MAD,
&& utterly ‘inSANE, in the BananaBrain’.
As we traverse the winding pathways of logic and humor;
we can no longer humour ya’ll with this illogical logic ….
We at The MadBananaUnion, have unveiled quite the arboreal irony
which ‘lies at the heart’ of this saying …
The BananaBros and BananaBabes of the Union,
wish to ‘shed some light’ on these leafy origins of currency lore,
and also the nuanced dance between agriculture & economics & common cents.[see our previous Blog Post] “What is Money?….says WHO?“ for more Money Theory Antics.]
…. so why oh why do people say that Trees do not grow money, trees are the first thing ever, to make something that humans need …. FOOD.
& FOOD is the world’s biggest reason for exchanging Money in first place, espcially as Globalization rendered barter inefficient.
The fact of the matter is ‘every bodies gotta eat’,
which brings more truth to its cousin idiom
‘everybody poops’ … wait thats not an idiom?
mmm …. well i guess we just wanted to say poop
in a professional blog post.
POOP! → Bucket List Item Officially ‘Checked Off’.
🌱‘Sowing the Seeds’ of a Spoiled Soiled Idiom:🌱
The genesis of the phrase can be traced back to a simpler time, where elders sought to instill fiscal responsibility in the younger generation. ‘Money doesn’t grow on trees’, served as a stark reminder that financial resources were finite and times can get tough if you do not have a few extra ‘greenbacks’ to spare.
Little did they know, within the leaves of this seemingly straightforward statement, a lucrative and whimsical twist awaited discovery …
Leave it to the $MAD-Scientists Busting Beakers in the MadMoneyLab to uncover this ‘diamond in the ruff’ ;-)
💵🌳Botanical Banknotes🌳💵
Also another painfully obvious point …
Paper Money is quite literally made of f*kin’ trees;
‘pardon my french’ ← (ole adage that doesn't make sense either).
Take a moment to ponder the composition of the very thing the saying proclaims.
Paper money, the tangible representation of wealth, is crafted from trees — or, more specifically, the pulp derived from their fibrous frames.From textiles and stringy things, to jeans w/ pre-sewed banana hammocks …
the materiality of the Bank Note, quite literally, aligns w/ the notion that money does, indeed, grow on trees.
The obvious logical fallacy within the saying becomes more deeply apparent, as we consider the interconnectedness of nature and finance…. & its worth mentioning that its absolutely BANANAS!!
Especially because Bananas are food, making Bananas a type of Money,
and Bananas come from Trees. sooo …. DurDiDur… the Transitive Property of Logic declares that if A = B = C, it is true that A = C .
Now we are just “beating a dead horse” on the topic. ‘HayHayHay’ !!!
In so, our beloved idiotic idiom is not just a poetic metaphor; it’s a botanical double entendre that adds a layer of humor to our mis-understanding of wealth.
Money doesn’t just circulate; it sprouts from the earth, intertwining the economic ecosystem with the roots of prosperity…🍌💸
Now, let’s delve deeper into the economic underpinnings of this arboreal revelation, with a focus on the quintessential banana. Picture a banana farmer, orchestrating a symphony of sunlight, water, and agricultural finesse. As the bananas dangle from the branches, each fruit is a testament to the financial bounty borne by the very trees that supposedly don’t bear money.
‘Let’s branch out’ further and proclaim that our silly saying “Money doesn’t Grow on Trees” has now transformed into a unorthodox oath of agriculture; which fosters societal growth, and suppports financial resilience all thru out the aPEELing allure of the potassium packed wealthy bananas; strengthening our roots and keeping us ‘happy, healthy, wealthy, and wise’.
🍌💡Symbols of Economic Enlightenment🍌💡
The next time someone insists that money doesn’t grow on trees, imagine handing them a banana — a tangible reminder that the world is ‘full of sh!t.’
🌳💰🍌 Just as each and every banana contains potentially potent potassium packed FUN-giblity; Each and every tree, also houses a symbol of economic prosperity, just waiting to be harvested.🌳💰🍌
Just like in “What is Money?….says WHO?“, we have declared that Bananas should be considered a currency … and so to further our demanding declarations of truth, w/ our adventure today coming to an end, we are now declaring that Money, totally, utterly, literally grows on trees. Period.
In conclusion, the saying “money doesn’t grow on trees” is due for a reevaluation. Let’s embrace the notion that money not only grows on trees but also flourishes in the roots and learns not to “bark up the wrong tree”, any longer on this subject.
The $MAD-Land Groves flourish w/ Banana Trees;
and the Money that grows is just a humble bunch of elongated yellow dollar bills. YellowBacks? Too Far? OkayOkay, we’re finally done.
Go Plant a Tree, damnit.
