Nature has smiled upon the butterfly. Not only has she a pair of fashion-print wings, but she also sports a roll-up drinking straw built right into her mouth.
Wouldn’t you like one of those? Now you can have your very own proboscis incorporated into the upper plate of your dentures. A special action
of the tongue makes it unroll and protrude from just below your incisors. Sip daintily from a bottle, glass or mug – no more awkward slurping. When you're done, it rolls up again.

In his own words, he has a proboscis. [swamilad, Oct 04 2004, last modified Oct 05 2004]

I'm quite happy to use a straw, thanks. |
|
| |
whats this special action of the tongue then? |
|
| |
Can you shoot peas through it? |
|
| |
I never use straws myself, so why would I want one attached to my face. Straws are for children. |
|
| |
Sadness is for poor people! |

Surely it`s relative though. I mean - proboscii are for butterflies; but when they grow up they get to be catterpillars, right? So none of this "children" talk then. |

if you can't spell "caterpillar" you're not allowed to try fake latin pluralisms. |
