My gizzard. I don’t think I can possibly live without my gizzard. ---

I love my brain and I’m rather partial to the heart as well. It’s very comforting to listen to a heartbeat, whether it’s your own or someone else’s. I hate the gall bladder though, and I’m glad it’s gone. ---

To be perfectly honest, the only internal organ I have ever had any personal involvement with is the vagina. Sorry. ---

Right now I’d say my uterus because it’s holding my wee baby 🙂 ---

I like my duodenum. The love I have for it gives me a warm, fuzzy feeling way down in the pit of my…duodenum. ---

Well, I like the word “spleen.” But seriously, I don’t play favorites, although lungs are pretty neat. I like having the capacity to project a lot of sound. ---

Nah, The skeleton’s the best internal organ. Without it you’d be a blob on the floor, looking sorta like a discarded bagpipe with thicker-than-normal pipes. Yeah, life without a skeleton would suck. ---

My skin! It’s the body’s largest organ, and without it we would look really gross, bleeding all over the place… [Rocky Horror’s Janet singing] _Toucha toucha touch me!!!_ [/RHJ] ---

It would make a great horror movie. People just kind of oozing across the floor, their bodies shapeless pulsating blobs of skin and internal organs. Ewwwww! ---

I’m adding myself to the Spleen fan club. Such a misunderstood, underestimated organ. Also synonymous with malice and spite. Talk about your bad press. It’s underdog status may just make it the most popular organ, if that’s possible. Do I need to 'Spleen further?
