This is an actual story in the
Fergus Falls Journal. Pretty funny stuff.
Banana assault nets arrest
Police arrested an 18-year-old Fergus Falls man at the Lakeview Estates Trailer Park after he allegedly hit a woman with a banana. Police responded to the home Tuesday night on a report of a fight. A woman said that the man tried to take a swing at her and missed, and she responded by slapping him in the face. That's when the woman said the man grabbed a banana and clubbed her with it, police said. Police said there was banana debris at the scene to corroborate the assault. The woman was cited for disorderly conduct; the man was taken into custody for fifth degree assault.
In response to the alleged assault, Service Food SuperValu in Fergus Falls has decided to stock only over-ripened bananas. I recently assessed the inventory. Buying/consuming said bananas is a reprehensible idea, regardless of the $19/lb. price tag.
