I've known about this for many years. There's much to learn from the animal kingdom. The hard part is paying attention. Thought for the day - The more you complain, the longer God lets you live. Old news. I’ve known about this for many years.

There’s much to learn from the animal kingdom. The hard part is paying attention.

Thought for the day -

The more you complain, the longer God lets you live.

It's been driving me crazy my whole life that I couldn't peel a banana good enough! LOL And I also got my laugh of the day from reading the other comments. Totally cracks me up that instead of just taking the suggestion and saying thank you people noticed what the guy was wearing. Fabulous!~ Thanks so much for sharing that.

It does not work. Up till know I was able to convince only a few people (amongst whom my own son Jankees and one chinese college in Chenyang.) People do not want to use this method. I am certain that it is the only right way to do it. It is more elegant and I am conviced that the banana is more tasty. Thank you very much for this nice video . regards Jan van Woezik I am for years trying to teach people how to peel banana’s.

So often the simplest solutions are the hardest to see. Good job on the video, short and to the point. Entertaining as life is at times. The monkey boxer shorts, his banana popping out?

Which is weird in the workplace (where I eat most of my bananas) I've gone back to the traditional method. It may be a little clumsier, but keeps your hands clean. ps - it may sound like it, but I'm not at all a neat freak. Just don't like slimy fingers at work / wasting napkins.
