Peeling a banana - stem or tip?

We had this discussion last fall in my office at work, and the answers were surprising. Figured it was worth a poll here.

When you peel a banana, do you start by using the stem as a lever or pinch the tip and peel it from that end?

I just eat it with the peel; saves me an extra step.

I voted stem, but do both. Depends on the banana.

Do you nudge the stem with your nose whilst eating it?

I usually have them start at the tip then work their way back to the stem.

Being a civilized human being I use a knife and cut just below the stem and peel down from there...

Stem. I don't wanna get crud under my fingernails or get my fingers sticky. Also, when eating from the stem, that unsavory bit can stay inside the peel at the bottom of the banana with a simple pinch and get disposed of with the rest of the peel. Easy, clean snack.

Peel from the tip and you the stem as a place to hold the banana. If you do otherwise, I would accuse you of being an animal, but even animals don't peel from the stem.

I do the opposite as it's the only thing that separates me from a chimp.

You know me, I've been spying this thread through my keyboard sniper scope. I'm surprised it took this long.
