Apparently, it's classed as a "container", and containers are not allowed.

It is God's perfect container.  Like a soda can.

^God's and years of selective breeding's.

Also, lololol freudian implications.

Gotta hate it when some asshole peels back a banana only to reveal a Luger.

Well it's actually an attempt to prevent the debacle of last election's Republican Convention from happening. Give John McCain access to a stripper pole and suggestively shaped fruit and everything just goes... sideways.

Drop in any large number of adults on official business and strip clubs will have a bumper crop of customers.

I thought fresh fruit in general wasn't allowed at the convention.

Clearly, they aren't fresh.

That said, maybe they're also trying to state that they aren't fruity.

This ban will make complete sense as soon as they announce that they'll be having a wacky go-karting race in the veranda.

I think Republicans are psychologically incapable of being intentionally wacky.

Well when the Dems set the bar with David Wu, no wonder.

I think Republicans are psychologically incapable of being intentionally wacky.

Unintentionally, though, that's their specialty.
