Banana's "appeal"

There was an old song with the lyric "I like bananas because they have no bones." I also like them for their source of potassium. The comic Phil Silvers (who played Sgt. Bilko on TV) once toured in a show called "Top Banana" - a vaudeville term. But I recently learned that after all these years I am peeling it incorrectly. I go after the stem and break it off not always smoothly. But I saw where monkeys pinch the bottom tip and it peels easier. Well, I'll be a monkey's uncle!
