PHILADELPHIA (Reuters) - A man armed with a banana robbed a convenience store in Philadelphia and rode away on a bicycle with cash and cigarettes, a security surveillance tape showed.

The suspect strolled into Tejada Grocery and got in line behind another customer at the counter, where individual bananas were available for sale, according to the tape of Tuesday's robbery, which was released by police on Wednesday.

That banana was illegal! It should have had an orange tip.

No more than eight-on-a-branch allowed..

I’m thinking that Chuckie meant to say “as big as my banana”.

Who could ever have guessed the Monty Python vision of reality could actually be practical?

I mean, suppose someone does attack you with a banana? You weren’t ready, were you?

Thank God for John Cleese!

John Cleese was right.

"Is that a banana in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?"

[Gefn]

Did the bike have a banana seat?

Obviously, a street ape!

Attack bananas should be banned. I’d have thought Philly did so long ago.

“rode away on a bicycle with cash and cigarettes,” — and ate the banana afterwards..

[Larry Lucido]

So, Pete, refresh my memory. Is it “leave the banana, take the cigs”? I get those mixed up any more.

[Larry Lucido]

Just thought of something. If you rob a cannoli store with a cannolo, which do you leave?

[eyedigress]

No sense trying to hide the weapon from the police when you can just eat it.

Lol yeah..yummy!

DANG!
