I'm not buying the elbow thing. I saw a video once of a guy who could lick a number of his body parts that the majority of people can't get to. lol
Naturally, contortionists need not apply! ;-)
very neat. Really like the last one. Thanks
Paige & Robert, thanks for reading & commenting. The post was just meant to be entertaining. Glad it delivered - even if it wasn't always factual.
That elbow licking thing is a huge challenge for me ... I'm working on it. I'll take a shot of me (or someone else) doing it one day ... with some practice.
Amy, I'll gladly post the pic(s) here!
