banana hammock and a midget? Sounds like you watch the same TV comedy I do! (Scrubs, The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, etc...)

Probably not; I haven't seen either of those shows. Like I said, I partly used some online word lists for quick inspiration (to get a bunch of random words that I might be able to do something with). Those particular words came from "Funny Words by Foxy" (the new meanings are all mine, though). The guy there might have watched those shows.

Edit: Oh, I've got another one!
