I was just watching a cooking show where the host peeled a banana from the butt end. This just mystified me since myself and everyone I know peels a banana from the end with the stem on it. so here's my question, how do you guys peel your bananas?
edit: damn, wrong account, this is muse not jmac.
From which end do you peel a banana?

Well it does come off when you get circumcised, but I don't think we're all talking about the same banana.Pablo Sanchez wrote:The peel comes off?jmac wrote:so here's my question, how do you guys peel your bananas?

Say, do you want it to be a threesome with your wife? Or a foursome with your wife and sister-in-law? I'm up for either.

Stem end. I'm used to doing it that way.
And, I'm just wondering: Did anybody read the title and thought it sounded like it had something to do with sex?

When I was a kid, I would try to squeeze an un-peeled banana, like they do in cartoons. I expected the insides to shoot out and I would try to catch it.
Unfortunately, all I got was a big mess.

Re: From which end do you peel a banana?
I'm talking about the fruit which is a close relative of the plantain, is commonly eaten in milkshakes or sundaes, and contains hefty amounts of vitamins and minerals. What's it called again? Oh, right... a "penis."aerius wrote:Well it does come off when you get circumcised, but I don't think we're all talking about the same banana.

When I'm feeling fiesty, I do this karate-chop-snapping thing with it that splits the peel and halves the banana. Otherwise I peel it from the top where it's clearly marked, "Peel This End You Stupid Show-Offy Fucknut."

You silly guys are funny...for the record the banana I'm talking about is a yellow fruit that comes in a bunch and goes from green to yellow to yellow with spots as it ripens. I shoulda known that someone would think "penis"...

The stem end and sometimes when its hard enough I like to split it from the top and undress it. ~Jason
~JasonI have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season."
You've never seen anyone do that before? I'm sure someone else here has done it or at least seen it done. It's not exactly a karate-chop, but it sorta is... I'll bet aerianna can do it--he can always do everything.RogueIce wrote:That I've got to see... Karate chopping a banana...

Hmmm....the closest I come is where I hold the banana by the stem with the curve facing up and then flick the banana down to open it. This technique is used on hard to open bananas which I can't peel by pulling & bending the stem. If the banana resists all attempts to peel it, I break out a knife and slash it open.Zaia wrote:You've never seen anyone do that before?

...And I abhor being predictable.
aerianna: No, that's not it. You have to hold either end of the banana in each of your hands, the ends of it curving away from your body, and then you just snap it over your leg like a twig. Only it's a banana.

Um-how shall I put it? It's a BANANA. A FRUIT. It is NOT going to fight back when you try to eat it. You do NOT need to break its back to make it stop.Zaia wrote: aerianna: No, that's not it.

Okay, given some of the stuff Poison Ivy's come up with that propably was a hasty generalization, but still...

I'm reminded of an old David Copperfield magic show I have on tape where he makes a banana disappear. The announcer says "take a bandana, fold it in half", but Mr. Copperfield used a banana instead which led to much hilarity.Zaia wrote:aerianna: No, that's not it.

Excellent. Makes things interesting. But now that you've said that, I'm worried that by the time I get up there, you'll be a man. Just to avoid being predictable.Zaia wrote:...And I abhor being predictable.
