This expression is believed to have originated over a hundred years ago on an island in the South Seas, the inhabitants of which were terrorized by an enormous gorilla with a sinus condition. The situation was usually kept under control with a special hot mustard prepared by the Medicine Man and applied liberally to the bananas near the gorilla's hangouts. One day, however, the gorilla's dining habits were greatly altered when he discovered the practice of peeling same, thus discarding his medicinal condiment along with the peel, the result being that the oversized simian soon began feeling stuffy and grumpy. The comic aspects of the subsequent rampage conducted along a path strewn with banana peels was lost on the suffering natives who convened and demanded a solution from their Chief. The solution was obvious but lacked the requisite volunteer. Finally, it was determined that the mustard should be delivered directly to the sinus cavity via the nasal passage by that individual guilty of the most serious offense in the history of the village, which happened to be overcharging the Chief's wife for a rhinoplasty. Thus it was that the Medicine Man atoned for his crime by going where no man had gone before.
