Odd Body Parts

I don’t even know what a “lumbar” is, but it strikes me as a funny name for  body part. Did a lumberjack come up with that? “Uh, how about “lumber”? No??”

Then there’s “clavicle”. It sounds like a musical instrument: “Did you attend Timmy’s clavicle recital last night? Oh, he was just divine!!”

I could do this all day! What about “femur”? It’’s not just an exotic animal, it’s somewhere on your body! “Doc, I think I’ve got a swollen femur...”

Who knows - maybe after all the vital organs were named, the biologists in charge of naming body parts went loopy with Peach Schnapps shooters.

And fell on their collective sacroiliacs....

Chow for now!
