The lead banana sees his chance. Detaching from his peel on one side, he lowers himself to the counter. Once free from his peel, he'll have escaped from the dreaded banana hook. The other bananas, slow but not stupid, quickly follow suit.

lower hawk: Sorry. You don't have to get your feathers all ruffled about it.
lower hawk: How about a mouse?

Overwhelmed by the excitement of the historic occasion and undaunted by the very cold weather and the huge crowds, I waited, waited, waited, and then got this picture! The last time I tried to take a picture of the president as he passed by, it was Kennedy and I was so nervous that I didn't snap the picture until his car had passed all the way by, so you could only see the back of his head. This time, with years of experience and a much better camera, I was calm, cool, and collected. Of course, I was also 22 miles away and only taking a picture of my TV screen. Even so, I'm pretty impressed with myself.
