Banana

During a big protest, I was among about 20 police lined up across the road with about 1000 protesters heading towards us. “Hold the line,” yelled the Inspector. Amazingly, and to our relief, the protesters stopped and faced us, and then some threw a few rocks. The guy next to me had his hand cut with a piece of concrete. Suddenly I saw something flying through the air towards me. I gritted my teeth, closed my eyes and a banana skin landed at my feet. A guy at the back of the protest yelled, “I'll pull the pin on the next one!” You’ve gotta laugh.
