Does a banana gun take banana magazines?

Did the banana have a condom on it?

What a worthless individual. I predict he will never perform a single worthwhile act in his entire worthless life. He’s not alone, of course... but I just feel like mentioning the obvious.

Doesn’t this turn from possibly a simple shoplifting into an attemted armed robbery? This guy surely didn’t have both oars in the water,but I guess they usually don’t anyway.

I recall Chuckie Schumer ranting about .50 caliber BMG rounds saying, "the bullets are the size of bananas!"

The liberal take:

This poor, hard-working man is being held down by MEAN-SPIRITED, WHITE REPUBLICAN CONSERVATIVE MALES. All he wanted was a little smoke and a little spending money in his pocket that was being unfairly denied to him by a society dominated by evil white males from Europe. (Excluding Spain which is not part of Europe. It's part of Mexico, Central and South America).

Never let a five year old boy take that gun to school. He’ll be suspended for the rest of his life!
