Perhaps the man with the tuque is a robber using the banana as a gun and the clerk disarmed him. Lots of room for imagination here, Lorraine. An intriguing image!

I think he just came in to rob the till without a banana! The shopkeeper drew his out and made him back off! Really great Lorraine! :-D

Suspens just before the drama ?
4 Apr 2008 11:51am
@Calusarus: Ha, yes indeed suspense lol thanks a lot Frederic :)
Great imaginative capture Lorraine. You have unleashed our imaginations here. Mine would be (guy on the right) I will give you half of the farm for that last banana. (Considering the availability of things these days due to costs and global warming) The shop keeper doesn't give up that easily and decides to keep negotiating until he gets the entire farmland. Hmmm, maybe I have had too much coffee, or not enough.
4 Apr 2008 11:54am
@Barbara: LOL I love your story and enjoyed the many interpretations, there is some intrigue, but for the sake of discretion I will not reveal, however I can say that the banana played a minor role, like a bystander ;)
A delightful drama, Lorraine ... and a good chuckle at the title. The image is so crisp and clean ... very nice!

4 Apr 2008 2:46pm
@standley: Merci Richard, c'était toute une histoire LOL
Une photo qui nourrit notre imagination, chacun essaie de lui donner sa propre interprétation. Mais qu'en est-il de le réalité, que peuvent-ils bien se dire au sujet de cette banane qui a fait cogiter 24 (et certainement plus) bloggers d'aminus3 ? Tu le sais toi, alors raconte....
4 Apr 2008 4:38pm
@Evelyne Dubos: Tout à fait vrai Evelyne, il y a une histoire intriguante, que je ne peux malheureusement conté, mais je peux dire que la banane avait un role très mineur ;) lol
is the man with the banana trying to rob the other man?
4 Apr 2008 4:53pm
@Rags: No, the man with the banana is the manager of the place, trying to go on break to eat his banana, the rest of the story, I cannot tell lol Thanks a lot Rags ;)
