Why is the stub end the right way? That way you get banana crap in your fingernails.

No you don't and its much easier.

Try it, it will enhance your banana experience.

I haven't eaten a banana for years (I don't like them very much).
But I think I will try this.

he's correct ...

think it through... what does the 'top' of a normal disestive look like and what does the uncovered side of a chocolate one look like ... ?

Funnily enough, given the title of this tread, untill not to long ago I thought "dawned on" was "don don".

I was about 34 when I worked this out. :/

ME TOO! I was going to post that!

Although I was 18 when I figured that out.

The definition is real, but not very interesting...

I was at school with him, and yes, we did take the p*ss.

Ketchup has a speed limit...

it is only approved when it exits the glass bottle at 0.045 km/h.

Only found out last night that Linglong tyres are a real brand. I always thought they were a budget tyre joke!

Their "winter hero" is a real model name too!

I was a late learner when it came to words like misled and albeit. There were more.
I spelt misled missled and pronounced the written word mizzled - I have no idea what I thought it meant.
Same with albeit - I spelt it out as three words and had no idea what allbait was.

I only actually realised TGI in the TGI Friday's stood for anything when someone pointed it out to me a couple of years ago.

Id never heard that expression before (or since)

You clearly don't use Facebook, there's people posting TGIF status updates every Friday.

I do, but never noticed it before

If they said "thank god its Friday" id think "agreed"

If they said "TGI Friday" id think, "mmmm, the foods good all deep fat fried there"

If they said TGIF id think it was a typo/they had finally lost it and was typing gobbledegook.

For a couple of years, I was unaware that there was a particularly good film called Monsters Ball.

I didn't understand all the fuss - the column inches, colleagues saying how great it was etc.

I reached my limit one boozy night when a group of my friends were banging on about it for what seemed far too long.

I interjected, asking "What fking sane adult would keep going on about an animated film featuring a blue furry gorilla with his one-eyed alien mate???"

I still get mocked for it.

Aw jesus, recalled another.

Remember that game on the Super Nintendo or similar - Jungle Strike, or Desert Strike - can't remember which.

You had the option to pick your Apache's co-pilot. There was a female co-pilot called 'Annihilator'.

My brother, after quite some time, revealed to me that it wasn't pronounced Anni Hilator.
