we were recently on vacation.
I was behind a tour group of black people. they each had a banana. I guess they did not get the memo.

i am sticking my head in a Hobby Lobby later today, I can assure you.

[Fresh Wind]

Heck, you don’t even need the chimp. A banana peel by itself is racist.

I’d guess it was the large assortment of Bibles near the front door and registers that really ticked her off.

[PetroniusMaximus]

Quick! Hide all watermellons!!!
