Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.
Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

If you peel a banana from the stalk ... You're doing it wrong.. Monkeys peel it from the perianth ..using the stalk as a handle.
Why assume that the monkeys are doing it right? :dunno:

Some very interesting facts about bananas can be found here:

Amongst the listed facts, many people find that rubbing the inside of a banana skin can reduce the irritation caused by a mosquito bite. Not that I have seen any mosquitos here!

I go to Tescos and buy there ripen at home bananas. Take about three days but least you know they will not be rotten.

I didn't know that mosquitoes bit bananas, Nige! You learn something every day here.
Actually, I react badly to mosquito bites, I wish I could rub inside my skin, push the poison out from underneath.
