Does Madame like her bananas average?

Does Madame like her bananas average? It is a question that has been pondered since the dawn of time, or at least since the dawn of bananas. The answer is, of course, a philosophical conundrum. It is a question that has no definitive answer. It all depends on what Madame considers average. Does she like her bananas ripe, but not too ripe? Does she prefer them yellow with a hint of green? Does she prefer them to have a certain amount of spots? Or does she like them to be a certain size and shape? Perhaps Madame does not like bananas at all and this is a philosophical question with no answer. The only way to know the answer is to ask Madame directly. Until then, the answer to the question of whether Madame likes her bananas average will remain a mystery.
