It’s past my bedtime. Enjoy!
I loved this bit:
Let’s skip the trial and get straight to the Bertana Appeal.
Prosecutor: “Prosecution introduces into evidence Exhibit A.”
Judge: “Is this the object used in the commission of the alleged offense?”
Prosecutor: “Yes. It’s the Bertana banana, your honor.”
I just flashed on the last scene in A Christmas Story.
The Old Man: Yes, it’s a beautiful dick, but you see…
Chinese man: What? What?
The Old Man: Well, it’s…it’s smiling at me!
Chinese man: Ahhh! (WHACK!)
The family applauds.
No, I’m not getting enough sleep.
Sounds like an assault with a dead weapon.
OK, when I click on that link, not only do I get the story, but there’s an ad to the right of it with a grim-looking gingerbread man, bending from the ‘waist’ and straightening up. It just makes the story all the more surreal.
If I understand correctly from the article, he wasn’t even flashing the banana. Instead he had it down his “tight” pants so people would notice the bulge. Very strange, and very strange they would charge him with something.
What if it were a natural bulge and he wore tight pants? Can they charge you then too?
Funny. When I linked, the ad featured a little girl with eyes wide, hands on cheeks, and mouth open in shock (apparently over the unbelievably low rates to be had on term life insurance).
Best part about this?
I grew up in Greenwich.
Awesome.
Strange and amusing. Thanks for the link!
Not only did I grow up in Greenwich, but I know the cop. He has absolutely no sense of humor. Only makes the story that much funnier to me.
Ask Jonah Falcon.
Just imagine, if Dr. John Hall had used artficially flavored banana cream in lieu of the real thing at his dental practice, he’d only be paying a $5,000 fine as opposed to 120 days in jail.
When did it get to be a crime to draw attention to your bulge? Do I need to assume, then, that it’s also illegal to draw attention to your cleavage? If it is, I need to be arrested. Immediately.
Where has our sense of humor gone? What is the world coming to?
Hee hee…what a hilarious story.
P.S. does anyone know how I can get in touch with this guy? E-mail? Phone number? Just for…you know…research purposes. Or whatever.
AAAAHHH!!! Holy shit!
:eek:
