I'm Not Laffing

Robert N. of Ringgold, Georgia. I have a question for you.

It's regarding the question posed in your Laffy Taffy submission. You know, when you asked, "What's yellow and writes?"

I didn't know what was yellow and writes. A pencil seemed obvious - and really, are those yellow or orange? Orange-yellow? In any case, not Laffy Taffy material. I thought the riddle might refer to a well-schooled Asian child or a jaundiced journalist, but again, I wasn't confident in those answers.

Imagine my surprise when I read the punchline, "A ball point banana".

Are you fucking kidding me, Robert N.?

Ball point bananas don't even exist.
