What is the right way to open a banana?

There is no right way. Some people tell you that moneys do this or that, but in fact most monkeys never see a banana because they don't grow in the same parts of the world. Even so, when a monkey sees a banana for the first time, he/she always tears it open on the side. Some people say there are no strings if you open one end or the other. I have never found their prattling to be accurate at all. You are free to experiment and make your own decisions.
