>Have you ever seen anybody slip on a banana peel?

There is actually a famous case everyone studies in law school torts class about negligence and duty of care where a woman slips on a banana peel, Anjou v. Boston Elevated Railway Co. (Mass. 1911).

There is even a joke that goes along with it: the case was lost on appeal.
