Of Wood on Tongue
Of all the body parts that are talked about, I believe the tongue is not given enough credit. How would we talk, eat, and do some other things that we do which I cannot mention here as this is a family show (just for me, not for you, your comments can be as unbridled as you would like) What would we stick out to insult others? What would we blow bubble gum bubbles with? Chewbaca's career would eclipse that of Gene Simmons. All the health and fitness news and experts go on and on about all these other body parts. How about this? Exercise your tongue every day. And NO, sitting in a sofa eating is not tongue exercise. But it's not all fun and games...
...So you have the urge to eat that calzone or cheesesteak. Yeah it's bad for your arteries, but your tongue is pleased right? But you don't want poor health? Ah, let me ponder that. The mouth stands as the point of intake for foodstuffs. Therefore the tongue remains our dark dietary master. The sensory temple of culinary dreams! Who rules over you and everything you consume. But we must stand up to our decadent organ. So friends, conquer the tongue and you will conquer....(insert deep thinking music here)....you will conquer...your life! How profound huh? There you go, I figured out human health.
On a side note, when I was a kid and had to go to the doctor, I feared the tongue depressor a lot more than the needle. With the needle, I could continue to breathe while it was inserted into my body. With the tongue depressor, or used chocolate ice cream bar stick as I used to call it, I thought I was going to gag and die right there on the examining table every time.
And how about the throat culture? Have you had this? "We need to get a sample of your mucous so we can verify that the bubbly coughing that's causing you to keel over every 5 minutes is in fact caused by a cold and maybe, just maybe, we should give you medication to help clear this substance from your lungs. But we have to do the culture. Thanks for coming. Now here, gag on this lollipop kid."

How about tongue piercing? I've always thought it looks righteous, but I've never been able to bring myself to do it because it's just so darn trendy... still, it does look like a lot of fun!
