Re: Random thoughts.....

On the subject of bananas, two things spring to mind:

1) why are they so difficult to 'snap' open at the top these days? (or is it just me who has to get a knife to them? )

2) did you know that monkeys peel bananas from the opposite end? Perhaps I should try that....

Edited to add: that is apparently a myth (about the monkeys)
But it seems it is the right way to peel a banana!

I’ve done what I’ve been asked to do.

There I must leave it, or there will be consequences....

Did you know, Sheba, that we are the ones who eat banana's upside down? Be like the monkey and eat it properly!

Why don't tennis players have caddies to carry their bags onto court?

... not sure the "people" word covers all corners satisfactorily.

Miss sounds a bit prejudiced.

Well, yes, that is what I kind of meant. But!! If you watch the video, the monkey myth is exploded - apparently monkeys don't eat bananas in the wild (who knew? ) and if they were given a whole banana, they would likely just bite through the skin without peeling it.

So, no thanks, I don't think I'll be like the monkey (but I did just have a banana, and peeled it from the other end, and it was soooooo much easier!)
