   That's why knees hurt in old age? They forgot they were knees, decided they were sentient cheese?

         Fox in Socks. Magnificent for all time.

         But my favorite are the tweetle beetles with their puddle battles.

      I think knees also just wear out.

      Maybe that’s why it’s important to keep working out?

      Don’t let them forget what they were meant for!

         I think mine must have desperately wanted to stop being knees to stop all the abuse of sport and years of working out they had to endure.

      Pretty much. One day your cartilage wakes up and goes "I've done enough cartilage work, I'm a fibroblast now"

      Going purely by sound, some of my knee internals seem to think they're meant to be cellophane.

         I think I would prefer that to mine which seem to have small fireworks someone forgot about in them now.
