I love the way in SAS: Rogue Heroes all of the mains have a love story. But randomly Bill Fraser’s love story is with a dog. Not in a creepy way—just he really loves this dog as his main B plot.

Because of their shape and the “suggestive manner of consumption,” proper ladies were instructed to either slice bananas into small pieces or avoid them altogether.
