“Is that a gun in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?”

This Facebook image reminded me of the famous Mae West line:

Ironically, students today would be suspended for repeating the Mae West joke, and not because it is sexual — but because of the mere mention of the word “gun.”

Considering today’s world of multitasking everything, if they let kids pretend bananas are penises, I see no reason why they shouldn’t let them pretend bananas are guns. Both can be dangerous, and both require a certain amount of control, right? So what’s the problem?

I mean, why not illustrate by showing this in schools?

Only an uptight liberal bigot would object.
