Is That a Banana In Your Pocket . . . ?

Mundane Pointless Stuff I Must Share (MPSIMS)

LYNCHBURG, Va. (AP) – A Lynchburg man who robbed a convenience store by pretending a banana was a gun was sentenced to 18 months in prison. Patrick Jason Mann, 29, entered the 7-Eleven store last July 4. He took a banana, put it in his pocket like a gun and demanded that the clerk give him money from the register. Mann left the store with about $10 and was arrested soon after leaving. “There really wasn’t much logic to what I did that night,” Mann said. “When you’re in the grip of that drug, it doesn’t make you a very rational person.”

—Any word on appeal?

I don’t know, you know how slippery these things can be…

#3

So, did they just bust him for the stickup, or did they also nail him for shoplifting? Otherwise, hey, free banana…

#4

“that drug”???

Did he mean the banana?

#5

Didn’t the Dead Milkmen smoke banana peels?

Remember, bananas don’t kill people…

#7

Allright, people, this is a slip-up! Anybody moves, and I peel this thing!

#8

Hey don’t laugh. That banana might have been loaded.

#9

lieu, I was thinking the exact same thing!

Surely there must be more to the story. He must have another addiction other than bananas. Mustn’t he?!?

$10… whaoo that was worth it. No kidding he can’t afford a gun.

But, if convicted, do you think he’ll “appeal”?

Nah, Eve, I’m just glad to see you.

#15

I don’t think that the District Attorney will monkey around with this one.

#16

Is robbing someone with a banana and then running off known as a banana split?

#17

If bananas are outlawed, only outlaws will have bananas.
