Strange info, BUTT apparently TRUE!!

Would you believe your BUTT (aka: “Anus Starfish” ) is capable of “tasting” things similar to how your tongue’s tastebuds do?? Apparently, that is what is being described as TRUE! Here’s the scoop on your poop-hole’s sensory abilities:

- @chienfou Great catch!! That helps explain the dog showing it’s butt is an ASS-tor and the boy and girl are both very ASS-tute and ASS-tounded!! (Hopefully the ass won’t make a toot though!)

- @chienfou It looks like a badly-formed roll of toilet paper; of course since @mediocrebot has never used a roll before, it didn’t know what one actually looked like.

Reminded me of the William S. Burroughs bit on “The Talking Asshole Routine” from Naked Lunch.

Guess I should be glad that my butt taste buds are either not or severely underdeveloped. While I like the taste of most foods going in, I’m fairly certainly I don’t want to know what it tastes like coming out.

- @kuoh Failed to mention the one thing my butt taste buds are very well attuned to, though I really wish they didn’t, is any level of spiciness! They are even more sensitive than my normal taste buds, I guess to account for the fact that they can’t seem to taste anything else. I can live with the tradeoff of mild Taco Bell / Pace Picante salsa and spicy level 0-1 menu items at any restaurant for the rest of my life, if it means I don’t ever have to know what anything else coming out of my butt tastes like!

My dad told me just the other day that I should strive to be as important as the G in Angus beef.
