UK - London - Man striding with banana in hand

A businessman strides along a London street holding a banana whose shadow appears to be part of another man's anatomy. As strong sunlight shines on this part of a London pavement, we see the confident stride of the man in the foreground, probably on his way back from a lunchtime stroll and returning to his office with the fresh fruit and a sandwich. What cannot be anticipated by the viewer, or by the second man, is that the banana has superimposed itself to the exact place of his groin area. The banana, by its very curved shape has long been the butt of sexual innuendo and double-entendre. The surrogate penis being the perfect adult pun.
