I’ve noticed that the merest mention of a banana in a comedy-safe situation is enough to provoke tears of almost hysterical laughter in any reader, owing to this fruit’s extreme comic potential index (CPI) of 10.0. Socks also score a perfect 10.0, but tennis racquets are only about 3.6 and electric sanding discs rate 0.4. Data supplied by the Invisibulian Institute of Statistical Information (who rate themselves at 0.0 CPI ± 0.2).

and kumquats?
Kumquats sound comical, but honestly, if I put one in front of you without naming it would you still laugh? These questions need to be answered. Thank you, Myrna, for your continued dedication to the task.
