Monkey tricks

Bananas

Juice and I were discussing the Obama's, and somehow it led to this revelation. "Did you know this." she asked?  No. But now I do.  See, talking about the poseur can have a salutary effect some, very rare, times.. Thanks Juice.

The Uhbama family would not stoop to open a banana. They have White House staff for that.

When in doubt, ask a professional.

Well, how'd the monkeys learn to do it that way before YouTube, huh? Huh? Explain me that!
So why don't humans do it that way, naturally?
How do native peoples who live in banana country do it?
How's Harry Belafonte do it?
How do they teach girls in sex-ed how to do it?
Deep questions, here.

I have always thught that the banana was one of God's most wonderful creations. Now, even more so. Thank you Roger.

Perhaps you are wondering what thught means? It is similar to thought. Perhaps that is why one should preview their comments.

How do native peoples who live in banana country do it?

They don't eat bananas - same as Arizonans don't eat cantaloupe....

Well, could be so, I s'pose.

But my wife (a SE Asian) prefers the small, thin-skinned Asian bananas over the mesoAmerican jobs. No problem peeling those guys from the stem down.

When forced to get New World varieties of nanners, she generally buys really large ones and cuts 'em in half. Again, no problem peelin 'em when that's done. She eats one half with her morning porridge and I eat the other half with my Cheeriolos.

Can't get her to peel mangoes, tho . . . insists on usin a knife and eatin the flesh with a spoon. Sez my way's too messy. Hell, gettin all messy is part of the fun of eatin some things. Fried gospel bird jist ain't fried chicken 'les'n you gitcher fingers all greezy.

Always educational!

Thanks Uncle Rodge!

You learn a lot about a woman by the way she eats a mango -- providing that she will eat one.

Some won't, you know. They don't like the taste or texture or something.

They’ll not allow the flesh of one to touch their lips.

Spider monkeys don't have a thumb, so they use their teeth. They also use their teeth to let you know when they're pissed off.

Yeah, but does he close his eyes when he eats it?

I watched a monkey at the San Diego Zoo peel a banana that way years ago. He ate the banana then he ate the peel. I've been peeling my banana's like that for years. But I don't eat the peels.
