Have You Ever Heard of Da Vinci? Tesla? Edison? Morons!
It's so simple. All I have to do is divine from what I know of you. Are you the sort of man who would peel a banana whole before eating it or retain the peel and peel the skin down gradually as you take a bite? Now, a clever man would peel a banana whole, because he would know that only a great fool would allow the peel to hang loosely over his hand. I'm not a great fool, so I can clearly not choose to retain the peel. But you must have known I was not a great fool; you would have counted on it, so I can clearly not choose to discard the banana peel.
However, because the banana comes from Southeast Asia, as everyone knows, and Southeast Asia is entirely peopled with criminals, and criminals are used to having people not trust them, as you are not trusted by me, so I can clearly not choose to retain the banana peel. But you must have suspected I would have known the banana's origin, so I can clearly not choose to discard the peel.
You've beaten my giant, which means you're exceptionally strong. So, you could have offered to take the banana peel, trusting in your strength to save you, so I can clearly not choose to discard the peel. But you've also bested my Spaniard, which means you must have studied. And in studying, you must have learned that man might one day invent an ingenious way of cutting a banana such as the Hutzler 571 Banana Slicer, so you would have put the banana peel as far from yourself as possible, so I can clearly not choose to retain the peel.
