My favorite part about that quote is the broken symmetry between the double meaning of the second sentence and the single meaning of the first.

It begs one to consider the possibility of little “time flies” snacking on arrows. Which I guess completes the square?

Gosh, after all those years I've only just realized the double meaning of "fruit flies". Thanks!

Before that, I just thought it was more of a non sequitur, but still amusing. There was just something inherently funny about imagining a banana hurling through the air in an awkward tumbling motion, right after the sagely abstract concept of time and its elegant arrow metaphor.

This is hilarious. I never thought of a flying banana and now I can't un-see it.
