Body Parts


--Mile 4.27 of a 30 mile bike ride--

Heart: Jesus H. Christ. I can't take this anymore! I'm working like a pooch here, Brain, do something!

Brain: Hey, did you see that guy on the tractor?

Heart: Brain!

Brain: Sorry. What's up?

Heart: It's the legs again. I'm pumping and pumping blood and they STILL won't get moving. Again.

Lungs: And for the love of God PLEASE make her stop singing.

Brain: Hold up. Voice!

Voice: "I wanna heal, I wanna feel..." What? You talking to me?

Ears: Yo, we're rockin' the head phones, dude, that sound ain't bothering us.

Lungs: It's the breath, you idiots, we need the air.

Ears: What an ass.

Butt: Don't drag me into this! I'm minding my own business here. Sitting on my seat!

Brain: Be cool, everybody. Voice, be silent for a minute.

Voice: Whatever, man, you're the project manager.

Heart: Brain, if you don't do something quick I'm going to have a total fit. Real palpitations this time. I have to work ALL the time. Everyone gets to slack except me!

Brain: Settle down, I hear you. Legs! Wake up!

Legs: [stretching] Hey there! 'Morning everyone, what's up? We going dancing? There's music playing.

Brain: No, Legs, we're on a bike ride, remember? It's the long one. We talked about this.

Legs: Bike ride...right! That is so dope. She eat breakfast?

Stomach: Yup! Cinnamon raisin bagel, toasted, with peanut butter and cinnamon sugar. I'm almost done with it.

Mouth: It was delicious.

Legs: Sweet. One or two?

Stomach: Just one. And some water.

Mouth: I'm thirsty again. Can I have a drink?

Brain: In a minute.

Legs: That's not going to hold us. Can we burn some of that junk in the trunk?

Butt: Hey!

Legs: Just kidding, little buddy, you look terrific. We love you. All muscle, baby!

Butt: I'm very sensitive! You know this.

Legs: C'mon, dude, it's all good.

Brain: I've got it covered. Metabolism will supply fuel by mile 20. But legs, you need to kick it into high gear. Heart and lungs are tired.

Arms: We're not tired!

Back: Me neither.

Heart: What a bunch of brown nosers.

Colon: I take offense to that.

Nose: Me too.

Brain: That's enough. O.k., everybody, let's work together now. Good. I checked the pleasure center and she feels like a million. O.k. heart?

Heart: Yeah, I'm good.

Brain: Excellent. Voice?

Voice: I'm here.

Brain: Rock on.

Voice: Awesome. "I'm WAN-ted...dead or AH-live..."

Brain: Good work, people, let's ride bikes!
