"Calling all cars, calling all cars. Be on the lookout for a banana wanted in connection with an assault on a gorilla. The banana was last seen heading south on Pearl Rd with an apple and a bunch of grapes. Suspect is reportedly a member of the Fruit of the Loom gang."

There was a guy like that at Auburn. He would just run onto the basketball court yelling, "I'm a banana! I'm a banana!" It was funny.

Since we are on the topic and it's Friday:

A couple of years ago as Hurrican Ike approached Galveston we saw this Bear Suited dude on the local news:

Buggered by a banana. How humiliating.

Why is Verizon represented by a gorilla? "We're, big, we're bad, we're hairy"?

Sending bananas to do your dirty work.

That's as funny as a getting drunk and climbing a giant frog statue! F'ing hilarious if you're as immature as a ten year old.

I guess I'm as immature as a ten-year old then...

Are they certain it was a banana and not a plantain??? Did anyone get a close enough look to be sure? I'm thinking they might have made a snap judgement and assumption. They could be chasing the wrong fruit. Fruit-profiling is something that should just not be tolerated in our country, imo. Just because something is long and yellow and has a peel does NOT necessarily make it a banana. *wonders what this world is coming to*

I thought the idea was funny too Twerp and probably more funny if you saw it happen. LOL
