I would say my prostate is my favorite organ.

It does me proud 😃

I couldn’t live without a liver. That’s probably how it got its name.

My heart, of course. 😃

My least favorite: My bladder. It’s too damn small. If I suddenly inherited a gob of money, I wouldn’t get a boob job or a nose job: I’d get a bladder the size of a watermelon.

I’ve long been a fan of the uvula. Great organ with a weak PR department. It’s almost vaguely nasty in a moist and discreetly titillating manner. Mmmmm. It’s fun to say, too. Say it with me, \*uvula. \*

There, isn’t that nice?

yea, I had some beer. oh well. sometimes we get thirsty. while you’re here, say it again, you know you want to…_uvula_

Mine, too.

I’ve wondered why it is so sensitive to stimulation. You’d think, being hidden away and only accessble via the ass, that it wouldn’t have any feeling at all.

My least favorite is the uterus.

Definitely the liver. I’m so fond of it, in fact, that I’m going to work on preserving it through pickling all weekend.

A comedian once said “I used to think my brain was my favorite organ, then realized what was telling me that…” Might have been Emo Philips.

I like the Spleen.

I was going to say that. :mad: You stole my spleen!

And I thought I was all original and stuff. ☹

So I’m going to go with my lungs. It’s nice to have good, healthy lungs! Life sucks if you can’t breathe. The gallbladder, I can do without. I could even get by without an uvula. But I couldn’t live without lungs.

It’s not really an organ, but the inside of my nose is quite lovely. Every doctor who looks up my nose tells me how nice it looks!

The gall bladder, invented by the late Dr. Samuel Gall. 😃

The appendix. He’s managed to stay “on the payroll” while doing nothing for thousands of years!

I think it’s my co-workers role model.

Dammit, **Bosda**! You stole spleen.

I don’t even know what a spleen does. 'Tis just an awesome word.

I guess I’m pretty fond of my stomach also.
