Is it true about the skin of a potato?

And of a banana? Wait a minute, mom was lying to me all those years, wasn’t she? All those damn banana peels I ate!

The skin of the potato contains what little fiber a potato has, at least. I’m so used to being taught that the peel is the most nutritious part of a potato or an apple that it’s sort of hard to comprehend that it might not be . . .

And ignorance. Sadly, there is no medication for that.

But that’s why i’m here at this message board. I find it to be excellent medication for my own ignorance.

"Only sluts/whores:

…have pierced ears.
…wear shoes more than two inches high.
…wear red/black/any color but biege or white bras/panties.
…paint their toenails. (that one I still don’t get)
…ride around in fast cars."

Actually, if you come across a girl with pierced ears and three-inch heels showing painted toenails, and she’s riding around in a fast car in red or black underwear, she’s probably kinda slutty. Maybe that’s what you mom meant.
