Fresh fruit, not manly.

I just got laughed at for "looking gay", my crime was eating a banana in the office.

At first I was wtf, but coming to think about it they're right - blokes DO actually look a bit camp whilst eating a banana.

Is the banana a girls fruit?

Obviously my image has taken a knock today so tomorrow I need to redress the balance somehow. Should I do this with an alternative more manly piece of fruit or is the only way back from this for me to spear some meat and drag it into the office by it's legs 9am tomorrow?

Eat a coconut. From the outside in. Manage that and rejoice!

Makes sense. Big mouth, long 'object', 'munching on a...' and so on. It's all related to innuendos.

You'd probably turn up with a bratwurst you gayer.

Buy a dragon fruit and eat it in a really camp manner

Eat an apple by cutting bits off of it with a large hunting knife. Make sure that the piece sliced off is eaten off the knife.

You could also try eating the bannana in smaller bits. Again, with a large hunting knife.

Your mistake was to deep throat the thing.

By office, do you mean classroom? It sounds like you work in a primary school for gods sake.

Whatever next.

I'd go with this option. If you require help perfecting you technique watch Firefly/Serenity apple eating scene.

Some good suggestions above. The coconut one... eating through the shell, Pineapple and the apple whittling all good suggestions.

however, I think you have done irreparable damage by giving this banana the once over. It would be best if you moved jobs and probably counties.

I'm a banana eater - and proud of it.

TBH I don't give a monkey's if people want to make puerile jokes about me eating a banana - they're a good fruit to eat.

Besides, most people tend to leave me alone - and I have my own office

This,

But also, the banana is THE luchtime fruit. It's ideal, more filling than most fruits and gives a relatively long lasting energy boost.

Eat your banana and to hell with the rest of 'em!

surely "your grandmother showed me how to do it"

I don't give a damn what people think of me eating bananas... at the end of the day it's very tasty and healthy.
