Banana Fencing
Banana Fencing is a sport that somewhat approximates fencing, primarily found in Themiclesia. Contestants each wield a peeled banana with the object of inserting or smearing as much of it onto the opponent as possible, while avoiding it done to himself. If either contestant's banana drops onto the ground, he loses. It is forbidden to force bananas into orifices or to restrain the opponent. There are casual and organized versions of the sport.
In the organized version of the sport, clothing worn, the consistency and size of the bananas used, and the field and period of play are standardized to ensure fairness. This is because thrusting a banana into the shirt or pocket leads to a quick victory. Contestants have historically sewn up pockets, worn shirts backwards, or pin cuffs tightly together to avoid these easy exploits. These rules have changed since the early 1800s, when this sport was first founded as a practical joke on aristocrats who import too many bananas, which were then fashionable in aristocratic houses. Today, contestants must wear a cotton shirt backwards and trousers with no pockets, held by side adjusters. Historically, banana faencing is only done in the summer and between males, but it is year-round and practiced by all sexes today.
