Today the following incident has happened at my home! I was just sitting downstairs watching television, when my mother threw a banana to me saying: "Here have this banana, it's good from the inside". Yeah sure! Is she trying to poison me? Anyone else ever had these incidents? Should I call the feds?

Did you eat it?
Oh ... and mom's know best. Listen to your mother!!
It's good from the inside? This line scares me.
That banana is just about ripe.
Send it to me. I'll eat it. Delicious.
Thank God for mothers... But that banana has no mold in it, it's perfectly edible. It's only softer, but never inedible. EAT IT. I would... If I was hungry or felt like it.
I think this is your mother's friendly way to tell you, that it's time to find an own apartment.
EAT IT!
I say this because I never eat bananas. When I had my appendix out a few years ago they kept me in hospital for THREE MORE DAYS just to pump my body full of potassium. (The goodness of banana's that helps the thickness of your blood in laymans terms)
Sure, I still don't eat them... ugh!
Gah! EAT IT dammit. There is nothing wrong with that banana! I always get people who'll chuck an entire banana away just because it has one brown spot! It annoys me so much, but I do get some kind of pleasure when I open the banana and prove to them that there's no black spots on the inisde.
When they are so mature it's good to crush them and put sugar. It's delicious. Also, bananas look so weird after being in a fridge, even not being mature. So, as the people say, eat the banana, mums are wise.
I have heard those are the best kind of banana's to make banana bread out of. All gross and slimey and smooshy!! I have to tell you that i wouldn't eat that banana. When a banana starts getting really mooshy, then i won't touch the thing. But like i said, have your mom make you some banana bread. That will taste much better.
edit: after further review, that banana doesn't look that mooshy, gross and slimey at all. My bad. :) So eat it.

This makes sense. ;D
get a webcam and eat it while we watch!
LISTEN TO YOUR MOTHER! She's not trying to kill you
I'm so scared to eat it. I opened it, and it wasn't looking great anymore. I took one try, but it tastes like sheeppoop... so I threw the banana out of my window! :-X
get a webcam and eat sheep poop while we watch!
When making milkshake, bananas that ripe are just about right. Just get a blender, put in some ice cream, milk, a banana, maybe some strawberries and some chocolate cocoa powder thing and shake it well. Delicious!

Ah yes. Poop jokes are funny.
There something wrong with eating "brown" bananas?
That banana has become a sausage.
Brown banana you say, Squinky? I see what you mean!

OMG, I didn't know you were racist, Squinky >:(

Must be a language barrier thing...

EXPLAIN YOURSELF supossed mature moderator! >:(
Is there something I'm mis-interperating here?
Yes, you're missing a joke.
Brown banana, a black person's penis.
White banana, a white person's penis.
Explained.
Matt and Gord, did you guys hit your heads?
I'm not racist, as far as I know, I was just making the enevitable comparison between a banana and a penis. Dumb joke, but thats what I do. I'm not quite sure what your problem with this is....And please Gord, tell me you were joking because where I come from, it's pretty harsh to call someone racist at the drop of a hat like that.
And Matt, Good day to you sir!
Also, it's ok, Squinky is black.
Squinky, I didn't even know you were making that inclination in the first place, until MrColossal put up a photo, to which I still didn't know you were meaning his penis, until he explained.
Why is a black man's penis brown? That does sound rather racist. Why isn't mine brown? EH?
And if anyone is/was being racist, then you don't have to be of a particular race to find it offensive.
Good day to you all!
That's the problem with the internet, you can't see the faces of the people when posts, so you can't really know if they're making a innocent joke or seriously making a racist commentary about black people.
For example... If Helm says something about his penis size and includes the name "Lorena" in the same sentence, I could easilly be offended... but I've seen Helm's attitude "live" and I can imagine pretty well the expression and the funny spirit of the commentary. I would never be offended by a commentary of Helm, or Goldmund or Grundy, etc... no matter if they goofe when attempting to make a joke in the forums.
So, allow me to deffend Mr. C and Squinky (they don't really need my help) but let me say that I don't think they were making a racist joke (I don't even think they've goofed in his attempt to make humour, as well...) And allow me to deffend everybody trying to make jokes. This forums are funny, but we're not humorists, sometimes we can failure. I preffer to have two people slightly offended by a (in their opinion) bad joke, than 5,000 members losing the possible fun.
"Why is a black man's penis brown? That does sound rather racist. Why isn't mine brown? EH?"
Well it's quite simple, a long time ago there was a large group of people that lived in the sun for a long time, through evolution or adaptation or what-have-you, they developed more melanin in their skin and well...
Just read this: http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a4_128a.html
So the reason his penis is brown is because of the sun and melanin in the skin. So if it sounds racist, you'll have to take that up with the sun.
Also, a long time ago Squinky made a joke that he was black and I thought he was serious, when I found out he was white I was flabbergasted and so I keep the joke running so I don't look the fool.

Umm ... is he? I've seen his pic in the pic thread, and he looks pretty much caucassian (sp) to me.
EDIT: Nevermind, I posted too soon.
So I opened this thread waiting to see how the mothers evil plan had gone furth and bumped into some brown penises :o Well I suppose it's because what Farlander said, but still... :P
One thing. I still can't see what that picture has to do with a penis.... Oh, and DO NOT eat the banana if you already didn't. It's been opened for a while now and it's been on the street. Don't even make milkshake.

Heh, I didn't know that you actually believed me, good times.
"Why is a black man's penis brown? That does sound rather racist. Why isn't mine brown? EH?"
Thank you, Matt. That sentence alone makes me just smile.

I'm not sure why black men have brown penises. It must be some sort of universal mystery, surely!
THE UNIVERSE MUST BE RACIST.
Racist? But the universe looks quite black to me!
The universe is actually off-white.

Well, glad we clarified that, then.
And vict0r said the universe LOOKS quite black, he didn't say it really is. I would however like to know when he went into space and travelled millions of light years and looked behind his shoulder to see what our universe looks like, unless he was referring to another universe altogether, then my bad!
Good day to- oh I'm bored of that now! :P
Did you know that we actually all are colourblind? Our white is in reality black, and also the other way around. So me. as a guy from Holland, I'm actually black ;)
think about it... it's logic!
Wha? So that means that.. but I... no way.. *Head explodes*
This is what my mother expected me to eat about 20 mins ago:

I was just searching forum for brown penis.. um, i mean, brown banana.. and found this.
3 pages about banana?? Just eat it already for christ sake.. it's nutritious and good for your helath! Your mother knows!
Gord, is that a tiny plate or is that disgusting banana about 15" long? :)
Be sure it isn't a tiny plate!
Hi, I just wanted to say that this thread is pure gold so far. Keep it up.
You bastards made Matt's head explode.
There was a guy at my college from Nigeria. His name was Ibrahim Philemon Barau, and he was a bushman. He was famous for walking up to girls and saying "Will you be my banana?" I think he had the joke backwards...
Or he was a freak...
::recollects::
"Esper, do you have a banana?"
God, now that I think about it... what the hell did he mean by that?
Gord that's a tiny plate! I'm sure of it!
Now if you guys can help Matt get his head back on his body...
For once I agree with Helm... Wonderfull thread. Keep it up! Minimi great job!
Judging by the size of the table... or what's on it, that banana is enormous, and the plate is big. You know, when you put a banana in a microwave it'll turn like that... I suppose, but anyway, it truns better when it comes to taste, or so I have heard.
A better recipe:
Put some flour with beer and some sugar. Mix. Take a banana and put it all over the mix... Take the banana with the mix and fry it! Deliciously unhealthy.
Now if we're talking about brown bananas then I don't have a clue... You dirty minds you!
Hehe, classic, have a brown banana, peel it wholly and cover it with whipped cream and put a cherry on top. Then suck it like hell and... why am I saying this?
Pfft... but mmm'mmm: http://homecooking.about.com/od/dessertrecipes/r/blmuff30.htm

Banana Cream
Now, what is
that a metaphor for?
Fried bananas are always nice, so are frozen ones. The quality of them actually INCREASES with time, so brown bananas are perfect either way.

They prefer to be called "less civilised"!
Ahh! ManicMatt!
With who do I talk about the german language now?!?
i like to set my brown banana in the sun for about an hour so that it will get warm and juicy. after that, i eat the entire brown banana nip by nip for maximum enjoyment..
did you know that banana's are growing to the sun, and that's why they bow for-over??
I did.
I did, until my head exploded.
It's alright. I've got a new one.
Now, where was I? Black is really white? but that means that everthing I can see is a lie! Even the camera's recording can't show me for real, everything isn't real, I mus- *head explodes*
lol... again???
Yo, I just wanted to say that you've all got Helm's permission. Keep it up.
It just struck me, but what's with the banana peelings. I mean, sometimes when you try to eat a banana, the peelings won't open so easily. And Then when you bite it in order to open it by ways of brutal violence it tastes like ugh. So why's that, why does it taste so bad, when for example orange's peeligns are used as spices? Does it have something to do with it protecting itself or am I not the only one without a clue here?
You must have never eaten a banana straight from the nature, right? Because the peal is under some chemical procedure, so that's why it's tastes so yuk!

What the... ?
This thread is still going?? I went on holiday for 5 days and it's still going?!
Minimi - eat the damned banana!
euhm, kinoko, I don't think that banana is eatable anymore at this moment! ;)
i'll grab myself a new banana!
yeah, he ate it already.
THe chemical. well I should have known. So if the banana doesn't taste bad when it's picked from a tree, why do monkeys take the peels off?
let me ask you this question:
if humans aren't the same as monkeys, then why do we both take the peels of?
the peel of a banana is hard for our body to process and there are no vitamines in the peel. So it would be just a hurt for the stomach. It would have the same effect as to eat a sheet of paper. you won't die from it, but it isn't healthy either!
It's not healthy? bugger, after all this paper :P
I think, why we take off the peels off, is because they have chemicals in it ;) THe thing about monkeys... I really have no idea. Are you sure there are no vitamins etc in them? It sounds like a waste. But really, I reckon, either of us eat the peels because they are hard to chew and taste bad.
