Embarassing but funny



I was grocery shopping with the kids yesterday and at the last minute I remembered that we were out of bananas. We headed over to the produce and I grabbed up a bunch. Just as I was putting them in the cart I noticed there were little round stickers on each banana.

My son pipes up with: "look dad it's Obama!" "Yes Brudder it is Obama!" my daughter exclaimed. I looked up and there were some people giving us dirty looks. One guy's face was as red as a beet. I looked down at the banana's and sure enough they were portraits of the characters from the space chimps movie.

My daughter asked me : "Why Obama's face be on the bananas?".

At this point I was getting annoyed at the dirtly looks from the other shoppers so I just said" 'he does look like a space chimp doesn't he..."
Just so you don't think I'm making this shit up...

You and your kids will now be labeled as "racist" for pointing out the obvious...pfft

Was that Obama Banana or Banana Obama or maybe Obama Bananarama. Sounds like the name of a leader of a tin pot regime from Africa, also known as a Banana Republic.

I'm pretty sure Obama does look like a Space Chimp, and that's not a racial thing--there are goofy-looking sumbitches in every race (hell, I happen to be a prime example), and he happens to be a high-profile one.
Your kids are just awesome for pointing that out loudly in public.

Gotta love kids...they call 'em like they see 'em! Too bad the voting public aren't as enlightened. We could have an ape in the white house next year!

LOL!
We were at the RedBull Flugtag the other weekend, and there were two guys dressed as bananas with a
'Obama '08' sign pinned on them. Should have gotten a picture....

Man, you're a train wreck. Hope you get to feeling better.

I used to take care of little boy who went through a phase at about 3 or 4 where he called all black people Michael Jordon. Going out in public was always fun. Not.

As for the other people, f*ck 'em. I'd have made some comment about "the people who are gonna vote for him are bananas."

I had a dog named Blackie...

He ran away to South Central
Los Angeles.

I got another dog.

Uncanny. Apparently your kids are smarter than a whole lot of full-grown Americans.

I briefly considered looking for my dog (named Blackie) in South Central Los Angeles, but I figured saying stuff like, "Blackie! Blackie!" or "Blackie! Get your ass over here
right now"! ...just somehow wouldn't cut it. So Blackie the dog is in south-central, on his own. I have a new dog now. I call him White Trash. I hope he doesn't run away to Hope,Arkansas.

Comment on sliced finger post - I found a new type of can opener. It is called a safety can opener and instead of cutting the can it separates the lid from the rest of the can with pressure. Works like a champ and best of all no sharp edges.

Hope you get over your cold quickly!!

Woot!

People need to grow a real problem and get over it.

My son yells "Hey granny!" at anyone over forty. I just smile and tell them he REALLY loves his grandma.

:0) Tell 'em to take a picture, it'll last longer....I do!

oh, and yes, BHO does look like that chimp...no shit.
