A Wrong Way To Open A Banana
Somehow this came up at a very messed up lunch. Someone (were not going to mention any names) opened up a banana starting from the bottom, holding the stem as the handle. So for the 25 min. our table argued on the right way to open a banana. Most of us opened them from the stem. Since this person's family came from the Ukraine during the USSR times, he named it the Stalin Method. Can there be a wrong way to open a banana? I am not sure although it does seem a bit odd to not use the stem which is there and makes the opening easier. People post some comments.

Well, I don't know the correct way, but I can tell you a trick that will drive people nuts.
Take a banana that is still firm and stick in a straight pin along one side in places about a half inch apart. Move the pin from side to side and cut the banana within without piercing through the skin in a place besides where you stick the pin in.
When you peal the banana it will look like the banana came out of the peal sliced.
If you start talking about how to peal it first, then mention that you like your bananas sliced before you eat them because it looks vulgar to stuff a banana in your face, It will drive them nuts!
Don't tell them how you did it unless they pay you. :^)
AJH
That trick is better then the one I
did to Rav Roov. I opened up the banana sliced it and sewed it back
together . Rav Roov was not impressed at all.We were much younger and the Rav could be crabby at times.
i have got to try that trick. maybe i can get a buck or two.
