You can’t have a thread about banana jokes without: “Knock knock.” “Who’s there?” “Banana.” “Banana who?” “Knock knock.” “Who’s there?” “Banana.” “Banana who?” “Knock knock.” “Who’s there?” “Banana.” “Banana who?” “Knock knock.” “Who’s there?” “Orange.” “Orange who?” “Orange you glad I didn’t say banana again?” HAW! Oh wait, that’s an orange joke. ---

[slight hijack] Did anyone see “The Daily Show” the other night? Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert were referencing the “scandale” that Prince Charles is NOT involved with. The bit included bananas and the two started openly laughing so hard they almost couldn’t finish the story. It was too funny! [/sligh hijack] ---
