"Is that a plastic banana in your pants?"

Bertana's Banana sounds more like a Saturday morning kiddie show than agnfarb.

For gods sake man, I ap'peel' to your sense of dignity, put that thing away!

Haven't lots of people on TV done this already, and passed it off as comedy? I know the Man Show did this in its early days. Not that I watch it. And if I did it would be for research purposes (of how not to act).

I'm trying to figure out how, exactly, that's breaking the law.
Tasteless, I agree.
Is it because he's on probation?

Marvin, I think Benny Hill made a whole career out of this stuff - couldn't say for sure because I could never stand to stay tuned in to him for long...

""It was a yellow, plush, child's toy banana," Petrone said. "It had a smiley face on it." "
I assume it was a verticle smile.

I recall a newstory from back in 1977 or 1978 concerning a young man who had collapsed while dancing at some disco. This was not long after Saturday Night Fever had started making the rounds of the local theaters. When the EMT's arrived to attend to the unforunate fellow, they discovered that he had tied a sausage (summer, kelbasa,) to his thigh. He had tied it so tight, that he reduced his circulation to such an extent that during strenuous disco dancing, he fainted.
After hearing of his misfortune, I always made sure to loosen mine up every hour.

I suspect it was not the banana that got him into trouble, it was interfering with a police officer.
The REAL question, however, is did he interfere with the police officer by using the banana? And did she enjoy it?

But did the banana have pajamas?
