This is a little parody I wrote in response to the "Truth About Obama" thing I've seen a few times recently. You will note that it is better cited and yet equally as ridiculous.



The Truth about Banana

1) ---Bananas are just delicious tropical fruits.

Not exactly, Bananas are herbaceous or in other words, they are herbs. Yet, these frauds can routinely be found in your local grocery store's fruit section. Tropical huh? Although the exact origin of bananas is not known (some say Asia, others Africa) one thing's for sure : the word banana comes from the Arabic word "banan" meaning finger.

Not to mention, their deliciousness is highly debatable, due to their "already-chewed" consistency.

2) ---Bananas are not humans and don't have anything in common with terrorists.---

Not exactly, as it turns out, scientists have discovered that bananas share between 50 and 60 percent of their DNA with humans, including all know terrorists.

4) ---Bananas are an excellent source of potassium, good for heart health and do not discriminate.---

Not exactly, large amounts of potassium found in bananas can cause Hyperkalemia when combined with certain heart medications and diuretics. Examples angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, Aldactone, etc. And these medications are almost always prescribed for older Americans. So much for not using age discrimination, bananas.

5) ---Gorillas love bananas.---

Why wouldn't Guerrillas love them? Is it any surprise these banana cells, or "bunches" as they're called start off yellow and within a short period of time turn brown?

6) ---Bananas are not evolved in terrorism.---

Not exactly, no banana has ever denied involvement in any terrorist activities. Don't trust me? Ask one for yourself.
