← When is it okay to stop wanting to have abs?
I had to think for a minute, but I definitely pull it towards me. Being careful not to take off my thumb. Mostly because I’m on blood thinner. So far so good.
Thumbs in the food… never a good thing!
I’m looking forward to what I hope will be a forthcoming post on what weird search terms bring people to this post. I mean, the possibilities are frighteningly endless. It’s got grandmother, ninjas, bananas, cub scouts, the f-word.
Oh, and nice job on ‘bananosecond.’ I love that.
Bananosecond… I’m here all week! We’ll see what kind of hits we get. Hey, anything for a new reader, right?!?
Are you going to hurt us all with this bananan post! I just am stupid to try peeling it the other way – not towards me and almost ended up hurt. Naah… too ignorant of you. And by the way, I almost peeled my finger while peeling Carrots!
Maybe I need to start putting warnings and disclaimers on my posts??
🙂 naah.. it wouldn’t help. Stupid thoughts just wouldn’t let you read disclaimers. I thought it was a funny post. Got me a smile and I even laughed at my silliness for trying it.
I do it like your wife does, but my Grandma used to do the same thing with a paring knife, and her peels would be so thin and consistant you’d swear a machine did it.
How cool! Perhaps a lost art methinks!
You could never be a chef.
Nope, chef-dom, probably not my thing.
Nobody can slice bananas like that generation could. It’s a lost art.
I’m a ninja banana slicer, but I’ve never peeled produce toward me. Now I have to try it, because I haven’t seen an emergency room in awhile.
You be careful, don’t want to hurt those valuable typing hands!!
Little-known and slightly related fact: There’s a long-lost fourth member of the Snap/Crackle/Pop gang. Pow. He represented Rice Krispies’ explosive nutritional value.
I peel towards me mostly too. I think I sometimes peel carrots away from me though. All around the world, thousands, probably 10s of thousands, of people are air-miming peeling after reading this post to check what they do. My other half’s mother who is in her 80s sharpens knives in a terrifying way that we can’t watch, slashing the blade quickly and aggressively on the sharpening stone thing. The elderly folk probably have better knife skills than most city gang members.
Sounds like a new version of West Side Story, the gangs against the elderly!
Apparently all you crazy knife wielding woman are more skilled than me! That’s okay I guess…and you know what, I’d totally eat banana soup! I think my kids might too.
And did grandmas all go to school to learn how to slice bananas like that? My mom used to do that too! you don’t want bananas in your cereal? Too bad, too late.
How did we live before Ninjas?
Guess ER rooms located every 2 feet in the neighborhoods and that “instant bandage” glue has changed the culture?
Whoa. I can’t believe there are intelligent human beings roaming this earth who would be so reckless as to peel and/or cut TOWARD themselves.
I also can’t believe you can use “fuck” and “grandmother” in the same sentence.
To your last comment, there’s probably a really bad porn site joke in there somewhere!
That first sentence is epic. Epic.
How did I miss this one way back in March? You really crack me up! I am picturing your grandma in her house coat with the panty hose and hair-do slicing away at the bananas. Ha,ha. I can also feel the fear you and your brother felt about saying that you didn’t want banana on your cereal. Too funny!
I really have no preference because I can slice my finger equally well with either method. But it is going to get sliced, of that you can be sure.
