A banana in your ear

A banana in your ear

Don't try to teach a pig to sing; it wastes your time and it irritates the pig!

Like the businessman who goes into a bar, sits down, and sees this fellow with a banana in his ear - a banana in his ear!
And he thinks, “I wonder if I should mention that to him. No, it's none of my business.”
But the thought nags at him. So after having a drink or two, he says to the fellow, “Excuse me, ah, you've got a banana in your ear.”
The fellow says, “What?”
The businessman repeats, “You've got a banana in your ear.”
Again the fellow says, “What was that?”
“You've got a banana in your ear!” the businessman shouts.
“Talk louder,” the fellow says, “I've got a banana in my ear!”
