It's one of the main laws of comedy: if there is a banana peel, someone will trip on it. In fact, the probability of slipping on it increases drastically when it seems absolutely impossible.

I'm imagining a huge Tiger tank crashing through the wall of a grocery store, driving over a banana peel, and suddenly cartwheeling through the air.

I'm imagining it too, and it's amazing. Strangely enough, even in this situation, I can hear the absurdly long sound effect that is usually associated with slipping on a banana peel. Fortunately, it only makes the whole situation that much more humorous, until the tank lands on it's side six inches from the fruit vendor's stand, at which point the fruit vendor wipes his forehead in relief, only for his sigh to cause the tank to tip over and crush the stand. Then it becomes nothing short of a silent-era masterpiece.

Ehm... "TV Tropes" site says, that bananas used to be bread-like cheap in 20s' and thus... tl;dr, just FYI: the real deal is a week old peel, not a fresh one.
