So far, I've only lost four bananas

[kpete]

Chanting "Fascist Bush! You are the terrorist!" the protesters hung from the engine and moved up the sides of the train, trying to shake hands with those inside.

Later, they took to the streets, heading toward a stadium where Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez was scheduled to make a speech before joining the summit. Chavez arrived early Friday, saying he was "inspired" by the protesters.

The march was mostly peaceful, although some self-proclaimed anarchists spray-painted slogans on a bank. Most businesses along the route had closed, except for a fruit stand protected by a wall of wooden crates.

"So far, I've only lost four bananas," owner Blas Zanghi said.

1. LOL! There's got to be a good punch line there, but I can't think of one

or maybe that is the punch line and we need a good joke for it.

I guess the joke is Bush. :P

[bananas]

2. How about this

"I've got some good news and some bad news"
"What's the bad news?"
"Bush is still president"
"What's the good news?"
"So far, I've only lost four bananas"

[ET Awful]

3. Or . . .

When a thieving chimp comes to town, what did you expect to happen?

4. Chimps eat bananas, dont they?

Hugo Chavez is going to eat bush alive at this summet...and it will be interesting to watch. bush, of course would never actually debate with Chavez...but Hugo will follow bushs speech at the summet...and he will be debating hotly...whatever bush has to say..so that is almost as good. On another note..my local mexican paper came out earlier in the week...the first since the hurricane hit....in the middle of the paper...where they put international news..had a full page article with the large, bold headline...Bush White house..in crisis!!! That was fun to read!

5. So bush* walks into a bar and makes a big claim...

"I* have a new energy policy that will revolutionize the nation".

The confused but amazed patrons chant, "bush* bush* bush*! give us your plan!"

bush* then goes into a long speech tauting the benefits and being free from oil and how it's going to ease everyones lives.

"tell us more!! how are you going to do it?", the crowd yells.

bush* replies, "with banana power!"

The crowd comes to a halt, mouths agape and in disbelief. Someone from the back of the room sputters, "banana power????"

"that's right my friend, banana power!", bush* then goes on to extol upon the benefits, the by products and the smell of banana's in the air.

Once again, he* has them in the palm of his hand. The crowd cheers!

"I have sent a bill to congress to immediately approve my banana power bill to save the nation!" bush booms.

The crowd goes wild, hoists bush* up on their shoulders and carries him* from the room.

The bill sweeps through congress and the house and is signed into law. The next day, all the power companies across the nation convert to banana power and the dawn of a new American power revolution begins...

4 months later...

all the cities are dark. People beg for food. because of the failed banana policy, bananas have become the most hated fruit of all time.

A local grocer owner Blas Zanghi said, "4 months ago, I couldn't keep one on the shelf, in fact people were stealing dozens a day, but So far, I've only lost four bananas."

wah wah wah...

Long wind up for a bad ending LOL
