I know that you, like me, have probably been told that your belly button is a scar from your umbilical cord. This is because text books like to invent complicated excuses.

But there's a problem with that excuse. That totally does not explain innies and outies and
inbetweenies. I mean, a cord can't just pop out or sneak half way before it gets cut. Why? Because that would be CHEATING, that's why. He'd have some kinda head start.

Well, it's about time you knew the truth. Your belly button is used for storing things in. Have you noticed that it's the zact same size as chocolate chips and pony beads and tomato seeds? Did you think that was a coincidence?

It's just too unlikely that all those things could conceivably fit in there coincidentally. I dunno about you, but my belly button's big and deep, and perfect for lotion or erasers, or maybe spare change. Well, a quarter couldn't fit in there, but maybe a dime or a Canadian penny.

POP QUIZ! POP QUIZ! POP QUIZ! POP QUIZ!

(Ha! I caught you unawares.)

You're walking along the street and you have no purse on you. You happen to spot a million dollar nickel! But remember, you have no purse. Your fingers would make smudge marks. What do you do?

A) Sigh and put it back down.
B) Carry it then promise yourself to wash it off as soon as you get home.
C) SLIP IT IN TO YOUR BELLY BUTTON FOR LATER!!! (DING DING DING! :) )

Now take a stab. I won't tell you, or even give a hint as to which one.

Mostly As:

You give up too easily and throw away your money. You lack thriftiness and creativity.

Mostly Bs:

You don't consider the possibilities before you act. Notice that if if you were to wash it off, you would wash off the worth as well. You lack reason and intelligence (hmm..sorry about that).

Mostly Cs:

Congradulations! You are a hard worker and a fair player! You are generous, kind, and you have tremendous faith in others. You are beautiful and understanding, and are thoughtful and courageous.

How'd you do? When you add up your scores, try to build off of your weaknesses. Except, of coarse, if you had mostly Cs, in which case you lack nothing and have everything.
