Did it get a little too feisty in there?

It's like the five second delay in radio or tv.

When threads get "unruly," we dump them.

The mods felt that it did. It may reappear, though.

Yes, I figured that might happen there. Too bad people cant keep their emotions in check sometimes. Oh well, I guess we're all guilty of that sometimes.

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

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.

Here we go, I copied and pasted it from a website! Me so clever! (the monacle, it works wonders)

Knock, knock
Who's there?
Banana
Banana who?
Knock, knock
Who's there?
Banana
Banana who?
Knock, knock
Who's there?
Orange
Orange who?
Orange you glad I didn't say banana?

So.....orange you glad?

But you were thrown a shocking curve with the orange thing. You were made a fool of. Nobody is glad to be made a fool of. These people should be ashamed of themselves for creating such a spiteful, hurtful joke and spreading it around the world. Sickening. I may not get to sleep tonight.

I know the answer. And I never take your questions seriously.

Heavens no! That joke is as pure as the driven snow. Now if wicked spirited Tom Foolery is what you'd like an example of, have a look at this:

What were you eating under there?

The unsuspecting victim answers:

Under where?

The listener has now admited to eating underwear and shall suffer this shame until his or her doom.

ReFleetwoodMac · #29 02-08-2006, 08:43 PM

Or what up the Up Dog one?

Human A asks - Is it me or does it smell like Up Dog in here?

Human B must inevitably ask What's "Up Dog"?

What human B doesn't realize is that he just unknowingly asked Human A "What's up?" and called him "dog." Human A of course rubs it in by responding with "Nothin' much, how 'bout you" and Human B slinks away into the night feeling used and manipulated. I may not sleep for the next couple of nights.

Now that is a doozy, I certainly wouldn't want that to happen to me. It does remind me of another ruthless trickster of a joke though:

The teller says

Say "I" then spell "cup"

The victim, willing to go along out of couriosity replies

I-C-U-P

Thus branding the victim a peeper leaving no bathroom door unlocked in his or her presence.
