Yeah, but a pun like “fruit of the bomb” is clearly intended to be a joke. Because you know, guys stuffing explosives down their pants so they can blow up busloads of schoolchildren is a kneeslapper. ---

**Gatopescado** Please tell me you’re joking. Yoda’s speech patterns were deliberately based on Jewish speech patterns. Speaking of which. **Zev** I could use your help in [this thread on interfaith marriage](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=273652) ---

So it would appear that our friend **nonpolar** has jumped the shark. ---

“loose your marbles”? I’d previously purposely stayed out of nonpolar threads. Now that he’s banned I’m mildly curious and feel like a fire marshall investigating what caused some unfortunate conflagration. ---

Whoa. He’s…gone. Was the banning for this thread or for his unwarranted attack in **EddyTeddyFreddy** ’s recent horse thread? ---

Dunno. But one would think that when one has been [warned](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=5225417&postcount=22) about making inappropriate posts, one might think twice about making posts that could be considered inappropriate. In **nonpolar’s** case, I guess one would be wrong. ---
