Banana slicer...thanks to you, I see greatness on the horizon.
But then she walked in. She was a knock out. the kind of girl that made old men suck in their gut and young men puff out their chest. "We'll hello there sweetheart, the dentist office is next door", I said with a smile.
"I'm not looking for the dentist", she said. "I'm looking for Johnny Flynn Private Slicer."
"Well you came to the right place", I said, mustering up what I hoped was a look of confidence. "Tell me what's on your mind."
The story she told would have turned the most jaded slicer green with banana envy. It was a big job. The biggest. And even though my gut was turning somersaults I knew I couldn't turn it down. This was the kind of slicing gig that would make a hundred reputations or destroy a thousand more.
Her father was the head of the Dole banana conglomerate and some Ivy League poindexter came up with the big idea to do the annual customer gala with a casino night theme. But this time they were gunna use banana chips instead of poker chips. These babies had to be stripped, sliced and dried to exact measurements if they were going to be handled by Dole's biggest clients.
"I heard you're the best", she said.
"Was the best", I thought. "Yeah, I've still got the chops. Watch this. I grabbed my number 7 knife and threw a banana in the air. I swung at it and missed it entirely. My knife stabbed down through nothin' but air and dropped out of my hand on the table in front of me. I watched the banana spin slowly as it fell fell fell and slap, like some miracle you read about in those dime store slicer mags, the banana landed on the knife blade and was cut cleanly in two. My jaw dropped open in amazement and my eyes were big as saucers.
"Impressive", she said.
"Impossible", I thought. "Yep, impressive is my middle name.", I stammered.
She tossed her red hair back and said, "You got the job. See you Saturday at eight."
"B... Buh... but, we haven't talked about my fee.
She laughed and said as she walked to the door, "Whatever your usual fee is, I'll pay triple."
Then she added, "Oh, and if you blow this gig you'll never work in this town again."
And with a slam of the door she was gone. I realized then she hadn't told me her name. That didn't matter. Everyone knew who she was. It was splashed across the society pages every week. "Dole diva doles out dollars to the down and despondent" or "Lecherous love lorn Lothario leaves Linda Livingston livid". L. & L. but friends just called her Elle.
"You'll never work in this town again".
Those words echoed over and over in my head. As I reached for my hat my hand was shaking. But then, I looked down at the table and saw the miracle banana perfectly sliced.... an accident, or was it? Maybe the big guy up stairs was gunna save my sorry heiner once again. I said a quick thanks to my guardian slicer and headed home. Once I got in bed doubt crashed into my head like a 500 lb gorilla on a sack of Dole's finest. I wasn't gunna come out of this. Not ol' Banana Fingers. I needed help fast and I knew just where to get it. Johnny Flynns mentor in this business was a crusty old slicer named Harvey Muldoon. Long retired he learned the trade over seas cooking banana fritters and stew for the yanks during WWI. If anyone could help me pull this off it was him. I know it was late but I went over and told him everything--about the dame, the gig and the banana trick. He sat their stone faced until I told him about the banana flip, miss and slice. If it wasn't so late in the evening I would swear he shed a tiny tear. He got up from his chair and stood there. And with a smile he said, "I guess you're going to be needing this." He dragged the paint chipped chair over to the corner of the room, got up on it. Reaching up to the ceiling he pushed at a plank which moved out of the way. He reached into the ceiling compartment and pulled out a box wrapped in an old World War I army issue banana sack. Inside was a battered tin box. With a look of immense pride he handed it to me like a father handing someone their new born to hold for the first time. "This saved my life", he said as he carefully lifted the dented metal lid. Inside was a hand cut form made of velvet and soft cotton and nestled in the middle was a strange looking device. Reverently he took it out and handed it to me. "Be careful now. It's razor sharp."
"What is it" I said.
It's the Hutzler 571. It's what gave me the speed and precision to feed thousands of doughboys a day with mess tins and steaming bowls of banana fritters, pudding and stew.
I was intrigued but skeptical... until I saw it in action. Shazam! It sliced bananas faster than Ricky Ricardo could smack a conga drum.
"I will take good care of it", I said solemnly.
"You better. It's yours now.", he said.
I was overwhelmed. "I don't know what to say."
"You can start with a simple thank you" he said with a smirk.
Come Saturday I was all ready. I made a small leather holster for it so that I could pull it out at a moments notice. I practiced my draw in front of the mirror day and night. I can't say that the event went perfectly. But I got the satisfaction of Elle saying I could slice her bananas any old time of the year.
I found my confidence that day. Thanks to some divine help and an old man's secret weapon I made it to the big banana leagues. No more scraping around for the odd job. Now I named my fee and sliced my way across the banana circuit. But still, with my fame and banana jet set status Linda Livingston was still out of my league. Now when I read about her in the society section I save the article and place them in a folder in the large steel safe along with a battered tin box. When I see it I say a quick thanks to her for walking into my life and giving this old flatfoot a chance to start again.
Then the dam broke - patients started flooding in - the diagnosis was a mystery and the symptoms were legion - we were but a small dam to the tsunami of suffering. Even our brilliant attendings, even the unbelievably super intelligent Arthur C. Guyton (the father of medical physiology) and his acolytes could not figure this out and the mystery deepened daily and inevitably along with the hideous suffering. Confusion (eventually becoming delirium), painful and swollen joints, running pustulous sores (I know icch - but thus the life of a pure healer), swollen bleeding gums and patients becoming edentulous (okay, admittedly a lot of them already were but it seemed to get worse so we made them brush their teeth more)(also they had to use mouth wash made up by the dental school students), and weakening unto a horrible lingering death was the pattern of symptoms. We all cried and moaned and even gnashed our teeth. We wailed and gnashed our teeth some more but to no avail. We finally even prayed to the medical gods (Cushing, Abbott, Favalaro, Harvey and even Freud) but it did us no good - our sacred whispers only settled quietly to the damp sweaty ground of Mississippi where they just fungated in the sickening silence.
Then, one sickening sad morning I was sitting in my on campus hovel (err dorm), sadly eating my fruitios with the cute little banana slices sadly adorning it, twirling my 571B (my mother in Gulfport had gotten it for me as a Christmas present that year)(THANK ALL THAT IS HOLY!) languidly on my little finger when the words came into my mind - THIS IS THE CURE FOR WHAT AILS THEM!
I looked around in shock (I was single and Betina-Jo was asleep over at her place after a late night of holding the hands of the dying little malnourished children in the unit), wondering where the heck did that come from?
And then I heard it again, "THIS IS THE CURE FOR WHAT AILS THEM!"
"What?" I said out loud to no one in particular (except for the 7,251 cock roaches which I shared my apartment with when Betina was not there). Hesitantly I looked around.
"THIS IS THE CURE FOR WHAT AILS THEM!"
"Huh?" I looked around and screamed, "WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT DO YOU WANT?"
No one responded. I wrung my hands together and then in agony I looked down at them - I had a paper cut from the 571B (I was still holding) on my left pinky.
"DAMN YOU! WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT DO YOU WANT?" I screamed.
Then it hit me -- like a two-by-four between the eyes! I hit the floor as if I'd had a grand mal. When I came to, 7 roaches were staring at me, with this WTH look on their little faces. Their antennae moved in the stillness.
I shooed the roaches back into their corners and got up quickly and then staggered a little (light headed from the recent seizure and dehydration from the typical Jackson heat and humidity). I made it into the kitchen and poured another friendly little roach out of my drinking glass and threw down two quick (but tepid) glasses of tap water. I suddenly had a mission and little time to realize it and take it to its success.
I grabbed the Hutzler 571B and my white coat (with handy pocket stethoscope and otoscope and ophthalmoscope and tongue blades and...you get it) and headed out the door. The 571B slid into my pocket like it belonged there, and maybe it just did.
At the University hospital I barged brazenly into the kitchen to the utter befuddlement of the staff.
"I FIGURED OUT OUR PLAGUE! I'VE GOT THE CURE!"
They all looked at me in shock, some desultorily even (looking back all these years, I realized now why - it is so hard to surprise a hospital kitchen worker who can cook pigs feet and collard greens and serve them with a straight face every day, sometimes even mixing in buttered grits?). One rather corpulent worker (I believe she specialized in boiled okra prep) passed out, she was obviously stunned (or incredibly hypoglycemic -- maybe her diabetes was out of control - hard to tell at that exciting moment in my young medical life).
I waved the staring and stunned workers aside and pushed 30 pounds of pickled hog's jowls off a food prep area and grabbed a bunch of bananas and let the 571B works it magic.
Soon I had several hundred pounds of sliced bananas (the Hutzler truly is miraculous in so many ways), and yelled, "Serve the nanners to the chillens first!"
And they did it!
It was like a gate had opened and the monkeys overran the banana plantation and I was the chief chimpanzee! I felt on fire, slicing and dicing like a demons spawn, whether right or left bended bananas - it mattered not. There were lives to be saved, and, by GUMBO, I was there to save them!
Soon we had served all the patients, then the staff, and finally the doctors and medical students (even the interns each got a slice).
Covered in peels and banana muck I finally wearily slowly walked out into the cafeteria.
They cheered. A loud roar went up as I walked out into the usually dreary eating area.
Hundreds of white coats and white nurse's dresses and even tiny beaming faces from wheelchairs gave me loud huzzahs!
I quietly held up the 571B over my head. It was the real hero. Not me.
"Speech! SPEECH! SPEECH!" Hundreds voices yelled in unison.
I brought the Hutzler down and slid it into my pocket - we were one again, never to be separated. I bowed my head. This moment was almost sacred.
After a few long moments, I looked up, and said quietly (the crowd hushed immediately),
"It was the Hutzler 571B, not me, that did this. This was just simply scurvy, SCURVY!" I shouted and the crowd quieted more."Run rampant like a pirate horde through our beautiful community and state and the 571B along with a little help from a friend," I smiled, "has turned back the tide this time, THIS TIME!
I looked around. "We need to bow our heads and thank the Hutzler family for sharing! They've given us so much!" I was almost crying as the words choked out. The cafeteria was quiet now.
And everyone did (bow their heads, not run rampant - it was too hot and humid).
We said our thanks that day. And then one by one, we all quietly went back to our mundane existences - I onto a residency out west - my classmates elsewhere - but the 571B was always by my side.
And to this day, in a quiet little glassed wall case, buried somewhere deep in the bowels of that university medical center, sits a little bronze memorial to the Hutzler 571B.
And somewhere out here in the west, in an old house, weathered by the snow and fierce Utah winds and sun, sits that original Banana Slicer, still with the hardened goo on it from that fateful day it saved thousands of lives, along with the aging doctor who somehow, some way knew when and how to use it.
Thank you Hutzler family, and the 571B, we all love you and will forever.

Certainly, we eat bananas but not in little discs.
This is not the manufacturers fault so five stars for being exactly as expected.
