Bananas are so offensive

THis is great. The woman complaining will not even say why she is so offended yet congressmen from both sides are getting involved.

"Loving you has made me bananas."

[Snardius]

YES, we have no bananas...

Racial hypersensitivity.

[TheOtherOne]

Meanwhile, bananas remain a convenient source of potassium, which helps prevent muscle cramps during long periods of exertion. So it's unfortunate that in certain circumstances, someone may find the fruit offensive.

This is gonna get better..lots....just you wait until Cynthia McKinney gets involved. How come no one wrote to her?

[armymarinemom]

Geesh, considering the lewd behavior exhibited in most of these protests it's hard to listen to complaints about banana envy.

U.S. Congressman Tom Price has sent Columbus Police Chief Ricky Boren a letter about the banana incident. Price, a Georgia Republican for the 6th District once represented by Newt Gingrich, writes that the woman so offended by officers' eating bananas has contacted his office. He would like Boren to address her complaint and send him copies of any correspondence.

That's the standard form letter sent by a congressional office to something out of their jurisdiction. I worked as an intern in my Congressman's district office when I was in high school, and when we got letters from constituents that dealt with things outside our jurisdiction, we'd copy the letter and send it to the right person with a form letter saying they should address it and cc us any correspondence.

PETB?

[MacDorcha]

Oh God, not HER!

[js1138]

I wonder if cucumbers offend her?

[CollegeRepublican]

I think this is more of a race thing than a sexual thing that offends her.

"Your red scarf matches your eyes,
You close your cover before striking...."
I love that song!

[Lekker 1]

I wonder how she feels about kumquats.

[sportutegrl]

Maybe she is upset because they were not eating oysters.

[TChris]

Well, allow me to be the first to post an offensive picture then! ;-)

[RexBeach]

LOL! Yes, it's a good one!

[Doogle]

...anyone asked her yet how she fee;s about zucchini?

(Real book, BTW)

[rockabyebaby]

Some women should be seen and not heard, I'm sick of whining women! Look at what they did to Larry Summers, Harvard - they were offended and now this guy is apologizing every day for SPEAKING THE TRUTH!

Offended by bananas?? Is this fruit discrimination? What about the eggplant, zucchini, cucumber, etc. the list is endless.

My God woman, find something constructive to do for heaven sake and the banana alone!

[Kenny500c]

She must be a liberal.
She is telling other people what and what not to eat.
It's a control thing.
