STRONGSVILLE, Ohio (AP) - The manager of a cell phone store in Ohio called 911 to report a gorilla had been attacked by a banana.
The Wireless Center in Strongsville, near Cleveland, advertises at curbside with a man in a gorilla suit. Manager Brandon Parham says he was watching last week as a kid dressed as a banana emerged from some bushes and took a flying leap at the store mascot.
Parham says the attacker looked like a Spartan from the movie "300" _ except he was a banana.
The gorilla was knocked down but got back up, adjusted his head and went back to work.
WJW-TV reports the banana split _ running down the street with other teens.
Police think it was a prank. They weren't able to find the offending fruit.

Menacing bananas, that conjures up quite the mental image.

As somebody who dealt with far too many menacing bananas, I must say that I hope news coverage of this incident brings attention to what has become an epidemic.
