** FILE ** Banana Boy, a local television character in Glens Falls, N.Y. , who goes by the name Chris Phelps when he's not donning his superhero's large, yellow banana crime-fighting costume, poses with his disorderly conduct ticket on Dec. 8, 2005, in front of the Hudson Falls, N.Y., police line up. After an uproar over their sentence of 40 hours of community service, a judge on Tuesday, Dec. 20, 2005, allowed Phelps, 20, his brother Jonathan and friend Luke Van Scoy to rescind their guilty pleas. The trio was arrested at gunpoint on disorderly conduct charges when police mistook their skit for a real-life knife fight. (AP Photo/The Glens Falls Post Star, Nathan Pallace)

Banana boy must be a great actor if he and his fellow actors caused the police to think it was a real knife fight.

And really...what would you think if you came across a giant banana fending off a knife attack??

BREAKFAST!!! Or maybe a rest stop on a century ride...

all they need is bagles and some peanut butter and they'd be all set.

. . . the situation would be "ripe" for police intervention.

In any event, it certainly is an "a-peeling" looking costume.

(Sorry.)

The ''fight''' probably had something to do with Bannana Boy being yella.

The knife fight was over banana boy's main squeeze, Chiquita.
