Man arrested; deputies say he aimed banana at them
A man is facing a felony menacing charge after two western Colorado sheriff's deputies say he pointed a banana at them and they thought it was a gun.[drops mike] I'm done.
I mean, seriously. How can I possibly parody this? How can you come up with satire when real life is that much more bizarre? Now, I won't dig on the cops too much. It's possible this guy whipped the banana out quickly, before they could identify the item but just saw something in the man's hand. To their credit, they held their fire after the man explained it was a banana.
It gets better, though.
The Grand Junction Daily Sentinel reports 27-year-old Nathan Rolf Channing, of Fruitvale, was arrested Sunday.See? Can't. Make. This. Up.
Fruitvale. A banana. I think my work here is done.
No, wait, there's this:
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
That is all.

Literally 2 miles from me. And just FYI on the other side of town is Fruita! Lots of orchards and vineyards in the valley.
My first thought - having read this on an iPhone - was, "Why didn't they just release the tiger?" But you beat me to it I see - the MP video didn't come across on the tiny screen. Life imitates art again.
Then so my brain outs with the wonderful starchy quote from Beverly Hills Cop: "Is this the man...who disabled a patrol car...with a banana?"
Yes, who needs real news when the real news is like this?
A banana??? Rilly???
This is what my hometown has come to...
and one of the cop's name is Bunch? oh come on!
We have Top Men on this. Top. Men.
Oh, the terrorists! They ran that way. It was a run-by fruiting. - Mrs Doubtfire
