Gullible Other Half!

[Caran]

Decided to play Billy Connelly's banana trick on OH. For those who don't know you get a needle, pierce banana peel half an inch from the top, wiggle it backwards and forwards until a cut is made right across. Repeat this at half inch intervals all the way down the banana, going in at different places so it doesn't looked marked. This gives the effect of a ready sliced banana still sealed in its skin.
So we had cereal this morning and we always have a sliced banana on top.
He prepared his cereal, peeled the banana and called me over. "Look it's already sliced in its skin, what is happening"
I said "Oh I have heard about those, it's to help the disabled and infirm, haven't you seen the adverts"
"No I haven't he said"
I kept a straight face for about five minutes until he said "I would rather have sliced it myself, how do they know how thick or thin to slice it"
With that I almost exploded with laughter. I had to confess I had done it.
He was not impressed.

oh that predates Billy C. I got that trick out of a children’s christmas annual, a really old one.

[Caran]

Wolfgang I hadn't heard that one before seeing BC on Sunday in Cardiff.

BC probably read the same Christmas annual (or perhaps Pam Stephenson did and tried it out on him)

[Georgiesmum]

Hilarious. I read the other thread and went to youtube to see how it was done and stumbled on this gem to try.
