Title: A phone to make nobody take you seriously ever ever again
Post by: Manedwolf on December 10, 2008, 02:24:59 AM

Yes, it's real. It's a handset to plug into your cellphone, a plastic banana with a speaker and microphone.

That's quite a-peel-ing.

Given my tendency for impromptu performances of that song at inappropriate moments, I might just need one...

Is that a banana in your pocket or are you just ringing me?

I find that if people start taking me too seriously, all I have to do is open my mouth and that fixes THAT problem...  =D :rolleyes:

OMG!  I hate that song so much!  In ARMA (Armed Assault) if you tk your buddies too many times, that song starts playing.  I sucked at that game, sooo badly.  Therefore, half the time I'd click the trigger, I'd die, and get sent to the banana phone brig.  "Ring, ring, ring, ring, ring... banana phone..."  My buddies would all laugh when I'd hit my push-to-talk button, they'd all hear it in the background.

Reminds me of an old joke.

A guy walks up to the checkout lane in a supermarket. The clerk sees that he has a banana in his ear, and tells him.

"What?" the guy asks."

"You have a banana in your ear!"

"WHAT?"

"I SAID YOU HAVE A BANANA IN YOUR EAR."

The guy says, "you have to speak louder. I have a banana in my ear."

It could be fruitful to produce it while giving someone the slip.
