Halloween Fruit

I've seen this photo a lot over the years searching for blog material...and every time I see it I imagine the reaction kids must have as their eyes fall upon it... the bananas already starting to turn brown around the eyes and mouths...the oranges drying out on the surface, with their celery stalk stems' earthy flavor clashing with the sweetness of the oranges.


There are three possibilities as to who initially invented these:
1. Someone who doesn't understand children.
2. Someone who hates children.
3. A Nun.

As a kid, I probably would have belly-flopped on the table without thinking.

I wrote on a coworker's banana today, with the tip of a pen cap, very lightly....so it would bruise very slowly over the course of twenty minutes or so... and form three creepy little 6's.

An hour after the carving, I heard her gasp and yell "OH MY GOD!!!!" And she came running over asking if I did it. I responded, "What is that??? Is that the Mark of the Beast!??"

She yelled, "TELL ME!!! I'm still shaking!!!!"

Banana humor.

Did You Know?

...That if you stick your finger in the end of a banana, that it will separate into three long pieces?
Next time you're around a banana, give it a try.

Mind you, trying to explain this to someone is an uncomfortable experience, so you should just go ahead and shock them with the output. Then explain later.
