NOTE TO SELF: EXPLORE CAREER AS A BANANA WHOLESALER.

It is apparently quite the lucrative occupation...
A platoon of the 1st Armored Division raided a home in Baghdad yesterday, arrested a suspected bombmaker and confiscated about $100,000 in Iraqi currency.

"I definitely believe he was here to make explosive devices," 1st Lt. Kevin Kirchgraber said of the suspect, who claimed to be a banana wholesaler.

"We found bananas. We also found what we believe to be a mercury switch for a bomb," Kirchgraber said. "He told us he was a banana merchant. Yeah, right."
