HUDSON FALLS -- Banana Boy is supposed to be a superhero. But his powers couldn't get him out of a trip to the village police station Thursday afternoon.

An actor playing the part of a mythical superhero by the name of Banana Boy was arrested Thursday along with two of his friends after police came upon what appeared to be a fight in a Main Street parking lot.

They came under police scrutiny because they were acting out a fight in which one of the actors, Luke Van Scoy, 17, of South Glens Falls, accosted a man wearing a large yellow banana custom with a knife.

To paraphrase Yogi Berra, you can't make this up, no one would believe it if you did.

TV8 co-owner Jesse Jackson said he spoke with Hudson Falls Police Chief James Clary shortly after the trio were arrested.

So he bought a TV station with some of his blackmail money?

"large yellow banana custom"

I am not familiar with this CUSTOM you speak of...

Word of advise, never call a real man 'banana boy'. For some reason they don't like that ;-)

I don't see any knife on the banana costume

'Oh my God, don't shoot the banana'

I have FINALLY found my tagline.

You know if a fruit got attacked in San Francisco, no way would the fruit be arrested.

They were charged with disorderly conduct, a non-criminal violation, because they caused a traffic tie-up and possible public safety problem by not letting police know they were going to be performing the skit, said Hudson Falls Police Detective Curt Pedone.

Speaking of bananas.

I was watching an oldie goldie "Leave It To Beaver" the other day and discovered June Cleaver kept bananas in the refrigerator.

Pearls or not, Mrs. Cleaver wasn't perfect after all.
