The banana, as we know it today, is a human invention, bred selectively over hundreds of years for its colour, taste, and shape. Therefore, arguing that the monkey hand evolved to fit the banana (or vice verse) is about as stupid as arguing God magically created the banana to fit our grip.
Though your rebuttal has crossed my mind before.

Someone please post the peanut butter one. |

But how about that tequila with the worm in the bottle? They should have gone to a tequila manufacturing facility and showed that the worm was placed there by men, just to erase any doubt. |
