Give Someone a Banana-Makeover!

  • Mood: Angelic but Impish!
  • Food: Bananas ... what else?

   Forget the face-lifts, bin the botox, and abandon the anti-wrinkle cream. The best way to peel back the years is simply by giving someone a banana. It’s a fact! 

   Walk up to a total stranger today, and give them a banana ... then watch them change before your very eyes. Those gloomy, unattractive frown lines will vanish as they smile with delight; a twinkle will appear in their eyes, and they’ll look ten years younger in an instant! If you don’t believe me, examine the photo below, and see the difference a Banana-Makeover made to this grumpy potions master.

   The best thing about banana-makeovers is that they work just as effectively for the banana-giver as the banana-receiver. So, give someone a banana today ... or click below and nominate some sad bananaphobe for a future Banana-Makeover photo-session!

3 Banana Skin(s).

Hey!! Who's that handsome character holding the banana - he looks familiar.
I KNOW you're not a monkey but do monkeys peel bananas in the wild? I know they can be taught but do free-range monkeys peel?
and how much are they a pound - just kidding

No, you are right ... I am NOT a monkey, thank goodness ... I am a GORILLA. We gorillas really, REALLY hate it when you humans refer to us as monkeys. How would you like it? (assuming you're not an advocate Darwinism). Aaaaaaarrrghhhh! We are very different indeed to monkeys! Whether monkeys peel bananas in the wild, I couldn't really say ... and what's more I couldn't care less! Call me a snob - I don't care. The few monkeys I've met ... well, lets just say that if brains were made of dynamite they wouldn't have enough to blow the fuzz of a peach!
However, I can satisfy your curiosity about how we gorillas remove the skins from our bananas. In the wild, (and in captivity too for that matter), we usually bite the banana in the centre of the convex curve, (sort of where a knuckle would be if it was a finger) then we tear the banana open. True, primates can be taught to peel bananas the human way ... but, so far, I haven't managed to teach any humans to peel them the gorilla way. Yet you still remain convinced that you're the most intelligent species on the planet!

LOL I KNEW Sevina would be the first to respond to this one anyway, perhaps we can agree not to use the words monkey and "you humans", but agree on the common term "PRIMATES"

you see, we do have something in common...
