I got a job carrying bananas out in Australia back in ’03. It was a notable period of employment for many reasons. I worked in a team of banana humpers who each had to carry bunches of bananas of up to 80KG in weight. One of the guys I worked with looked like he had spent his entire life under an air conditioner.

He was a smooth faced Canadian who was in his late twenties but looked like he had just been born. The sun baked hill billies that worked full time on my particular plantation didn’t like his face much – because it represented a scary unknown world where people were actually civilised and had the odd air conditioner lying around to keep their faces wrinkle free.

It is true to say that when you lack an air conditioner and spend all your time in the sun, you get a wrinkly face. If you don’t want one of those, you should consider not getting a job in a banana plantation and investing in an air conditioner.
