Date

"Bad dates."

- Sallah Mohammed Faisel el-Kahir

The date is a fruit.

In 1935, Indiana Jones's doctor, Frodente, encouraged the archaeologist to eat dates to improve his diet.

A year later in Cairo, Jones was almost killed by a poisoned date. He was saved by his friend Sallah who saw that their Capuchin monkey companion had died from eating one.
