A phone to make nobody take you seriously ever ever again
« 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:

A phone to make nobody take you seriously ever ever again show people you have a sense of humor and don't take yourself more seriously than you should.  I'll take two, please.   =)

Ring ring ring ring ring ring, banana phone....

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."

<Groan> The puns are getting too thick here.

That's it!!! I gotta split.
I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought
