Don't underestimate sexy produce and it's seductive qualities. CAIRO: An Islamic cleric residing in Europe said that women should not be close to bananas or cucumbers, in order to avoid any sexual thoughts.
The unnamed sheikh, who was featured in an article on el-Senousa news, was quoted saying that if women wish to eat these food items, a third party, preferably a male related to them such as their a father or husband, should cut the items into small pieces and serve.
He said that these fruits and vegetables resemble the male penis and hence could arouse women or make them think of sex.
He also added carrots and zucchini to the list of forbidden foods for women.
The sheikh was asked how to control women when they are out shopping for groceries and if holding these items at the market would be bad for them. The cleric answered saying this matter is between them and God.

So, does this make all those animated vegetables in Veggie Tales porn stars? Well, "Larry boy" does have a strange outfit. What are we to make of this?

Worse than that, legitimate governments give these Neanderthals credibility by taking up their causes. Billary Clintoon has made it her personal mission to work diligently to ensure we don't look negatively on these cretins.

Lemme guess:
Sacred bird house gourd with Mo’s name “miraculously” on it, right?
[because scraping the skin of the young gourd and having it heal over to form “words” is totally impossible]
