Belly buttons - what's the point of them?

[Durlston]

Getting ready for bed and everything smells ok, even balls, but one thing that really stinks in this hot weather is my belly button. A bit like a cheesy foreskin that hasn't been washed for a few days. The trouble is its impossible to wash because I can't get right inside it.

Anybody know what they're for? Do you find them sexy on girls? Is it natural for them to get a bit whiffy?

It kept you alive before you were born.

Strangely enough, your question prompted me to give mine a good finger probing......something I've never done before. No cheese like smell for me.

Adam and Eve did NOT have belly buttons ... apparently.

On some ladies the BB is the gateway to the promised land ...

Ah, that's a very good reason for having them then but served no purpose in the last 30 or so years.

Do any scars serve a purpose?

I suppose it's handy to put the salt in, if you're eating celery in bed.

That depends on whether you have an inny or an outy.

That's an oxymoron!

As he says. Essentially the gateway to your entire pre-birth circulation receiving oxygen and food until you decide to make the worldly appearance.

Post partum - they are a scar to remind you of your pre-natal vulnerability as well as being a small cheese repository.

It's certainly an inny and that's not a euphemism.

Some outys look like a clitoris.

That's a very specific, and somewhat unusual, usage. Speaking from personal experience, perhaps?

That would be telling.

They're needed because if you unscrew them your bum falls off.

True fact.

Cheaper than liposuction too.

All of that is rubbish. They are there to collect belly fluff which is - if you are healthy - nearly always a shade of blue. Sky blue meaning you are in tip top condition.

You need to get a ****ing cotton bud in there, mate. By the sound of it, dipped in Draino

After crossing a certain age rubicon, the inny becomes an outy. Bit like Brexit, allegedly

They are placed there for contemplation

 

[Wellesley]

It's there to hold the salt for your celery.

I was told that if the the midwife didn't tie a knot in the cord, thus creating a belly button, you would go "PPPPHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" all around the delivery room as the air escaped from you.
