He Was Yellow

A wireless phone store in Strongville, Ohio, uses a guy dressed up in a gorilla costume as its mascot. He stands outside the store and holds up a variety of signs to attract customers. Last week, in a reversal of the food chain, the gorilla was attacked by a banana.

Police say that someone dressed up as a banana and attacked the Wireless Center's mascot, a gorilla, last week.

"I noticed a kid in the bushes. Then he just emerged, dressed up as a banana, and sprinted as fast as he could at our gorilla," said Brandon Parham, the manager. "The kid just speared our gorilla."

"The kid was in mid-air, flying. He just looked like a Spartan from that movie '300,' except he was a banana," added Parham.

"After he got tackled, the gorilla just got back up and adjusted his head. He kept on waving his sign around," said Parham.

Police say the person dressed up as a banana split and headed south on Pearl Road.

Police were unable to locate the banana.

I'd love to see the police report on this one.
