Found this one on Amazon - some of the reviews are hilarious. Definately worth checking out. Maybe not quite as good as some of the $10k cable reviews, but still gave me a good chuckle

    4,879 of 4,918 people found the following review helpful...
    What can I say about the 571B Banana Slicer that hasn't already been said about the wheel, penicillin, or the iPhone.... this is one of the greatest inventions of all time. My husband and I would argue constantly over who had to cut the day's banana slices. It's one of those chores NO ONE wants to do! You know, the old "I spent the entire day rearing OUR children, maybe YOU can pitch in a little and cut these bananas?" and of course, "You think I have the energy to slave over your damn bananas? I worked a 12 hour shift just to come home to THIS?!" These are the things that can destroy an entire relationship. It got to the point where our children could sense the tension. The minute I heard our 6-year-old girl in her bedroom, re-enacting our daily banana fight with her Barbie dolls, I knew we had to make a change. That's when I found the 571B Banana Slicer. Our marriage has never been healthier, AND we've even incorporated it into our lovemaking. THANKS 571B BANANA SLICER!

    What was wrong with the other 39 people?

    Maybe they followed the reviewer's advice, added the banana slicer into their lovemaking, and did not like the result. :eek:

    I'd like to see the banana slicer classified as a "Medical Device" so that it could be included in the new Health Care Bill.

    .... love reading those types of reviews. Gives me faith in America. :biggrin:

    This one is my favorite; “Is it possible to get a motorized version of this ground-breaking product? Also, it needs to be diesel powered, since I'm Amish.”

    Nice. Lovin'it. Oops, I think I made McDonald's mad.

    Here's a good one:
    "I know you all are trying to be funny, but I wish you would stop with the sarcasm. This device saves me six seconds of valuable time every day, which when you add it up means I will have gained an entire extra day of my life to do other stuff by the time I die (assuming I live to be 100)! Now I'd say that makes this a good little investment. "

    I think this is my favorite one:
    When a burgler came to my house I was tempted to reach for the butcher knife in the kitchen, but instead I grabbed the 571B banana slicer. I told the burgler..."I'm gonna slice your nanner" and he ran in a terrible fright. Thank you 571B banana slicer for saving my home and possibly my life.

    I can't believe this was de-classified by the Pentagon. Now, we'll be dealing with Chi-com counterfeits(read toxic) at half the price!
