Please share your thoughts in this brief and anonymous survey.

D. Management realized that, without free bananas, Kirkland loses a lot of its appeal.

E. BANANAS BE RACEIST!!!

F. …but feel free to drink the Kool-Aid immediately.

G. Orange you glad you don’t have to work late tonight, first-year associates?

H. In protest, K&E attorneys hurl fæces at staff (instead of their usual practice of filing it with the 7th Circuit).
