Going bananas over bananas

Great news, people! The long-awaited solution to our eternal traffic woes is finally here! Authorities in Pom Prap Sattru Phai district of Bangkok finally got serious earlier this week, and have cracked down on what they believe to be the cause of massive congestion in the area.

The culprit? Fried banana vendors!

That's right, these good-for-nothing sellers of the yellow phallic devil are being blamed for contributing to gridlocked streets in PPSP district by taking up space in traffic lanes. And for valid reason too! Everyone knows that the sight of fried bananas makes motorists reflexively stop, drool and completely lose the ability to press their foot down on the accelerator.

    I think this says it all about the police force and its ability to create better driving.We saw the two tragic cases this week caused by an inability to drive safely and with reasonable care for other road users.I wonder how many can see sufficiently well to drive a lethal vehicle.
