SHE survived brutal Nazi and Communist regimes to ultimately be brought down by a banana.
Slovenian migrant Ivanka Perko died in hospital last week in bizarre circumstances - she suffered complications after she dropped a banana on her leg.

Comical to the end, the 73-year-old old quipped to friends and family while on her deathbed: "I can't believe after all this time it was a bloody banana that killed me."

A family friend told The Saturday Daily Telegraph yesterday that Ms Perko - who was treasured by her Blue Mountains community - had been ill for several months with a condition that made her skin delicate and fine.

"She had tried to open a banana and dropped it," the friend said. "The pointy end scraped down her leg and she died from complications."

Even her death notice revealed her strange demise, killed by a falling banana.

Friends said it was seen as an appropriate end to a unique and fruitful life.

As she was farewelled at St Raphael's Slovenian Catholic Church in Merrylands yesterday, Mrs Perko's only son Izzy Perko told of his mother's colourful migration to Australia, her love of all things Slovenian and her daredevil ways which had never waned.

"She escaped Slovenia with nothing but the clothes on her back and a pocket full of black pepper to ward off the guard dogs, and for that

I am most grateful," Mr Perko said.

Within the Slovenian community, Ms Perko was known for her vocal protests about the famous Kransky being labelled as a Polish or German sausage.

Her love of Slovenia, the official home of the gourmet sausage, was only subdued by her memories of Nazi occupation and the brutal regime of Yugoslavian dictator Marshal Josip Tito.

In her final years, Ms Perko remained a valiant volunteer for Meals on Wheels and the St Vincent de Paul charity.

I suggest a full boycott of banana's. RIP.

Damn...that's BANANAS! Oh wait...after the obvious lame joke, RIP her.

This is so strange, I've never heard anything like it (outside jokes, of course)!
I wonder what condition did she suffer of.

Interesting, I may not eat a banana anymore from now on. (seriously)

whoa... insane..

whoa... insane..

I have to admit, I was skeptical (mostly because of a couple of the puns in the article) but it would seem that this is legit. RIP.

That shit is BANANAS -- B-A-N-A-N-A-S!

wow...that's sad. RIP

Friends said it was seen as an appropriate end to a unique and fruitful life.

They had to say it...

Maybe it's just me, but I think it's a beautiful ending to her life. She goes through two awful experiences in two different regimes, and she finds humor on her deathbed knowing that she was killed by a banana.

holy cow. bananas? And I don't a friend of mine bumping into a truck was funny. The 10-wheeler stopped but he slipped and slid towards the truck. No serious damage. But he's still getting ripped for it until this day.

Nazi's? Communism? Garbage. This is the real killer...

I thought you were gonna say Philipono's.

RIP to her. As sad as it is, that shit's hilarious.

It's really is a true story. RIP, but that part about sausage trully cracks me up, though .

"Died from complications"? What "complications"?

owned.

owned.

HAHA...That's too bad though. RIP

I hate to laugh considering its probably legit, but damn.

I don't know what you guys think, but I think it was a suicide attempt!.

wow...almost unbelievable.

I don't know what you guys think, but I think it was a suicide attempt!.

That shit is BANANAS -- B-A-N-A-N-A-S!

Calling someone a fag? An insult like that is almost worthless coming from you.

Thank you for your ever-growing contributions to the forum. Thank you.

He was being satirical. I don't think it was obvious enough, apparently.

Ouch, that's why I hate bananas.
