How skinny are YOU, and where does it show?

First, I shall detail the precise Manifestation of my sallow and sunken Form:

My Stomach (excluding rather minimal Breasts-which in Actuality often create only two Nipples) shows five pair of Ribs and one rather sturdy Sternum.
When I look at the Ceiling, the back of my Neck makes an unsettling cracking Noise; and my cervical Vertebrae are quite apparent upon my Contemplation of the following:
When I bend my Knees, my Patellae shift and protrude as my body possesses no Resources with which to base them in Cartilage;
My Metatarsals from under paperlike Sheafs of skin during any Flexion of my Ankles;
My Hips also also prominently protrude when they are placed under the slightest Duress.
The Buttocks with which G-d has chosen to seat me also fade upon the Occasion of my standing Erect into a beautiful Display of the Crests of my Femora.

Gentle Readers, kindly elaborate upon your Scrawniness and bask in the warmth of shared Glory in Malnutrition!

I'm so skinny the wind whistles when it blows past my legs.

Mostly it shows In My Humble Opinion.

So you're extremely obese and skeletal at the same time? You should be able to make some money from Ripley's Believe It Or Not!.

Methinks me smells a troll.
