banana hammock

Inevitably, the phrase "banana hammock" brings up an image in my mind that I am loathe to illustrate in this blog.


Oh, what the hell. It's this:














It's not just me, I know this because there are, at current count, 13 definitions for the phrase on Urban Dictionary http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=banana+hammock&defid=1233514 and they all pretty much say it's men's swimwear.




So why would anyone want to do something like this?

















Even though it's cute and I understand that bananas should be hung up and not sitting in a bowl or something (which was never really a problem for me but whatever), seeing this just puts me in mind of this:















Why would they do that to me? Why?




Of course, there is one acceptable use of the phrase:


If it's got Paul Rudd it must be ok.




Bonus hate related to bananas:










Looks like they found one banana to illustrate the purpose of this case. Will others fit? Do they come in other sizes? Isn't the point of taking a banana with you is that it comes in its own wrapper? I really don't recall squished bananas being a problem with my bagged lunches as a kid and I would guess that losing the plastic shit you pack a kid's lunch in is actually a much bigger problem.
