Let's face it, our hectic lives can sometimes make us feel like we're going bananas. Still, most of us hold our ground. Others, however, let the bananas get the best of them. Others like this one guy that's been seen riding the subway wearing a rather bizarre head piece.

Not to beat about the bush, the man, whose identity remains a mystery, has on several occasions been spotted riding the subway in the city of Beijing in China wearing a watermelon on his head.

The man, featured in the photos included in the video below, wears otherwise perfectly normal clothes. Thus, it looks like he is quite fond of jeans and jackets. How and why he decided to add a watermelon to his outfits is a puzzle yet to be solved.

Mind you, this guy does not put just any kind of watermelons on his head. On the contrary, all his fruit helmets come complete with holes for his eyes and his mouth, reports say. On one occasion, his eye holes were shaped to look like stars.

The guys and gals who have until now had the chance to come face to face with him say that, as far as they could tell, the man was pretty much drunk at the time when they encountered him.

Despite the fact that there are no laws that ban people from wearing watermelons on their heads when taking the subway, police officers have several times been asked to come and chase away this individual. Apparently, some people fear him.
