"Orange who?"

ReFleetwoodMac · #1 02-06-2006, 09:22 PM

"Orange you glad I didn't say banana?"

Why should we be glad now? I have never understood.

But did you ever wonder what came first, the color or the fruit?

I believe the repetition of the word "Banana" in this joke is intended to bring about intense rage directed at the fruit. This rage can only be relieved by none other than the word "Orange". For centuries the joke had no "Orange" punch line as it was a ploy of the monkeys to keep the delicious yellow crop all for themselves. Still to this day the true identity of the "Orange" bringer is unknown, and orange we glad for his genius.

Am I missing something here? Because I think I left my trunk in Philadelphia.

So nobody knows the answer? Or are you just not willing to take the question seriously?

Because "Banana" is said over and over again in the joke, the person being told joke is supposed to be confused as to why this is happening. Then the joke teller says the orange bit and the listener has a good chuckle.

If there's a deeper layer to this you'll have to fill me in. I'm the type of person who plays with a rubix cube for about two seconds then resorts to switching the stickers around.

Banana is said over and over again? Popular culture must omit this portion of the joke most of the time.

Well how bout you tell me the joke in it's entirety as you know it and we'll go from there. I'll have my secretary put on a fresh pot of coffee and hold my calls. As I do when giving things thought I will be wearing my monacle. I have a spare monacle also if you like.

Add a "Knock knock" and a "who's there" before the title and the first half of the first post of the thread and you've got my understand of the joke thus far. I think we may need to recruit some experts in the field to clear some of this up. Our feeble minds, well, you know.
