Too Much Fiber In the Diet

I never knew that most monkeys will swoon To eat bananas in a real saloon -- They'll snarf down bunches After monster lunches -- Then vomit up the peels in the spittoon

Hello Gershon … I was told of something similar this morning. A large aviary was moved and their dog cleaned the floor up of everything, including seed, bird droppings, shell grit, everything; and some time later inside the house, missed the spittoon every time - loved your limerick but winced a mite - Lindsay

As for me, I never let a dog try a spittoon. Must be their semicircular canals or something in their ears, but their aim is way off. LOL!! Thanks, Lindsay! :) gw

So Cute. I love bananas, fresh, protein shakes, ice cream, baked bread but please no peels. Peels too much fiber......

Never been in a real saloon. Maybe that's why I don't get the punch line, but that was fun... Hmm, do they wrap bananas in plastic in saloons?

LOL: I don't know of any saloons in the USA where they serve bananas... perhaps in Madagascar?!… Smiles, Gershon
