Making 'juice' from a banana is nearly impossible, but it is not too difficult to make paper from the pulp of a banana. First, peel your banana(s) and place them in a pot, just enough to cover the bottom. Add water. Enough to cover the bananas by an inch and a half. Add a FEW DROPS of lemon juice, a small pinch of salt and two small pinches of sugar. Boil for about 20 minutes, until the bananas begin to break down structurally. Using a blender (I use a stick blender in the same pot), blend this mixture until a smooth consistency is obtained. Strain the mixture through some cheesecloth for at least an hour. You'll end up with a pulp and a 'banana water' Two papers can be made from this process: Transparent and transluscent. For Transluscent paper (easier), spread a THIN but UNBROKEN layer of banana pulp on a piece of wax paper or a SILPAT baking sheet. Turn your oven to 50 degrees centigrade and prop the door about one inch open with a ball of foil. Leave the puree inside until it has visibly dried COMPLETELY. You'll see some of the slightly thicker areas still opaque...its NOT DONE! once you've dried it completely, remove it from the oven and peel the wax paper carefully from the banana paper. I'm not sure what you'll do with this shit...plenty of options to the open mind I suppose. For the transparent paper, use the same process but use the 'banana water' instead of the pulp. Sounds easy until you see the banana 'water' and the way it acts on a solid surface. Its like chasing your tail (if you have a tail). have fun with this. You can adjust the thickness of these things, and the point at which you remove them from the oven, in order to make your own fruit rollups at home. You can put some on some icecream. You can entertain small children by feeding them 'paper' at snacktime. You can make sushi rolls...with bananas in them. Information.

A student asked his teacher, "What is love?" The teacher said, "to get an answer to your question, go to the wheat field, get the biggest wheat grain, and come back." But the rule is - you can go through the field only once and cannot turn back to pick." The student went to the field, gone through the first row, and saw one big wheat grain. But he wondered....may be there is a bigger one else where. Then he saw a bigger one. But may be there is a still bigger one waiting.... Later, when he finished more than half of the wheat field, he realized that the wheat grains there are not as big as the previous one. He realized that he has missed the biggest one. So, he ended up the search and went back empty hand. The teacher told him, "That is love! If you keep looking for a better one, you could have missed the right person!" "Then, what is marriage?" the student asked. The teacher said, "to get an answer to your question, go to the same wheat field again, and get the biggest corn. Same rule as before!" The student went to the corn field. This time he is very careful not to repeat the previous mistake. When he reached the middle of the field, he picked one good sized corn. He felt satisfied, and came back. The teacher told him, "You have looked for one that is just good for you, instead of coming back empty handed. That is marriage!" "What is Friendship then?" the student asked. The teacher said, "in order to answer that question, go to the same field and choose the wheat that appears nice to you. The rule is is the same." The student went to the field. This time he is very careful. As he started scanning the field, he has picked many grains that suited his taste and come back to the teacher. The teacher told him, "You looked for one that is just nice for you, and did not look for the best. That is Friendship".

A boy and his father were going to the store, and they took their donkey along. The boy decided he was tired of walking and got up on the donkey. Then, some villagers came by and looked all shocked and appalled. With an accusing stare, they looked at the boy and hollered. How dare you ride on the donkey and let your poor old father walk all this way? Have you no compassion?! So, the boy gets off and offers his father to sit on the donkey. The father does so, and they go on. Later, another group of people walk by, and angrily they shout out to the man on the donkey. You heartless old man! How can you make that young boy walk all those miles?! Both the boy and his father look at each other with exaspirated looks on their faces. Ah hell with this, the father says while he gets off the animal. If none of us sit on the donkey son, then nobody can bitch. So, both continue to the village on foot while the donkey trails behind. Eventually, they get to the village, and some people hastily and rudely turn at both men and the animal. You heartless, inconsiderate pricks! How can you make that poor donkey walk all those miles?? Also, nothing seems to rhyme with orange.
