Breaking News. Playing the (imaginary) banjo can land you in court
A commuter accused of indecency on a train has walked free after telling a court he was strumming an imaginary banjo.

Yesterday I saw a guy on the bus. He wasn't playing an imaginary banjo. But his imaginary friend did.
I hate "Yankee Doodle"...

Jeez - everyone knows you should never play the banjo in public, not even an imaginary one.

Excellent point. It just shows how sloppy modern day journalists are that they don't give the full facts. Mind you, it was in the Daily Mail (for those lucky enough never to have read the Daily Fail this song by Dan and Dan will help you understand) so nobody should be surprised.

Ashton walked-in on Demi playing with a kazoo. After that, things just got way too awkward...

Jabes, there is an imaginary big brother looking in your window as we speak. Put some pants on, man.

Just put the kazoo down. No one needs to get hurt here... Augh! Look out! He's got a banjo!

Is that a kazoo in your pocket or are you just (slightly) pleased to see me?
