Battles Banana-Wielding Thug.
In my book, I note that one observer described the banana as a “weapon of conquest” in Latin America. This doesn’t apply in Maryland, where a would-be thief attempted to use the fruit to rob a 7-Eleven – and was denied by a brave clerk.
Incredibly (or maybe not so incredibly), this isn’t the first time this has happened – and the last time, the guy got eighteen months in the hoosegow for his malfeasance (third item down.)
