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.

Does a banana gun take banana magazines?

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!
