The Story of the Guineos

There once was a family named Guineo. This family had three members: Papa Guineo, Mama Guineo, and Baby Guineo.

This family desperately needed to move to another country, for reasons we will not disclose here, though perhaps you would like to hazard a guess. Given their sticky situation, the Guineos needed body armor, both to travel and to live in their new home. Papa Guineo searched far and wide on the internet, and ordered something he thought would work. When it arrived....

Papa Guineo tried it and it was TOO SMALL


Baby Guineo tried it and it was TOO BIG


But Mama Guineo tried it and it fit JUST RIGHT

So she said, 'Here's my chance for a free and single life! SEE YA!' and off she went. Papa Guineo subsequently was fried, and Baby Guineo grew up to buy a red sports car to compensate for something (ahem...he never did grow any longer or wider).

yes, folks, it's the banana bunker that I wished for! live and in the flesh, so to speak. I had sent out the information far and wide (not just in the blogosphere) and someone came through, so to speak. I opened it and laughed my friggin ass off for 10-15 minutes straight. that laughter alone was so well worth the money that was spent, and the person who gave it to me has my undying devotion, at least for a little while. :-) I could not bring myself to take photos of it in my hands, I just couldn't. but even just thinking of writing this post gave me lol laughter - I looked for the teeny tiny organic bananas but of course they had none in the stores so I had to use the smallest 'regular' banana I could find for Baby Guineo. even though I fear anyone seeing the bunker in my hands, it actually will be really useful come climbing season, since I do need to have a banana every day, and carrying it in my pack is fraught with squishing possibilities. it'll keep it stiff... Oh my, there i go again...

ok, so the first picture came up on my screen and i was like 'nor's god some awfully weird looking condoms there...' and then i read the post. i don't know which is stranger, me thinking you were putting condoms on your banana's or a banana bunker being a real product. lol


*in my defense, i had just been over at kiddo's place and you know as well as i do that her true super power is the ability to send anyone's mind into the gutter just by wishing it so. ;-)*

Those would be some awfully stiff condoms! And, not sure Susan's the problem here. If anyone looks at the photos and DOESN'T think of certain things, well, they'd better go to a doctor. :-)

Dear me - hopefully no foot fetish people visit. Hadn't thought of that!

And Susan, always makes my day when I make your day. And I am assembling your virtual birthday gifts! You're going to love them...

Susan said...

I can't begin to explain how excited I am. It's less than a week away!

Susan said...

How are you feeling, by the by? Are you well now?

I love your overly stiff banana condoms. So, where did you get those?
