I have always wondered why we picked the heart as the human organ to represent love…
What about our hands?
Of all the senses, surely touch is one of the most important when it comes to love. The feeling of a lover’s hand in our own, our hands snuggling close in a little ten-limbed embrace… not to mention all the other sexy things that hands can do…
What about our mouths?
Not only are they perfect for kissing… and other things… but they are what we use to whisper our words of undying love.
What about our eyes?
These are the windows to our souls… we gaze into each other’s eyes and see the love expressed there… and we use them to stare longingly at one another…
And what about our brains?
True, these are not the most attractive of our organs… but then again, the heart ain’t no raging beauty either. Our brains play a huge part in our romances. It is here that we keep our memories of that special person when they are apart from us. It is here in our language centers that we first put together those simple words: “I love you.” It is our brains that conjure up ideas like romantic moonlit walks on the beach or allow us to write a love poem or song.
I think maybe the reason that we first started using the concept of the heart as the romantic center of our beings is that when you first begin to realize that are in love, your heart begins to beat faster. This produces an intoxicating dizziness. And your entire torso begins to feels warm and flushed and starts to tingle. It does sort of feel like there is an inner fire radiating out from the center of your chest. Your blood courses through your veins making you feel ever so alive…
… and this leads us to the other organs that we might have chosen to represent love…
… because all that pumping blood is flowing to our naughty bits too…
… so it is sort of surprising that we didn’t pick the sex organs for this role…
… and it makes me sort of proud that the poets were not more immature…
… or we would all be getting chocolates in boxes shaped like our genitals…
Pouring My Art Out 
Or there is nothing. Stuck my hand in that fire and got burned rather badly. Tried again only to find the fire is still hot. Sometimes a pot doesn’t have a lid I guess.
fire and love both burn now and then
vacuum’s and love both suck sometimes too.
uh… yes…
Lol! This one made me chuckle
yay
Believe me after the week I had that is really a compliment!
your kid still acting up?
No…she had a big swim meet this weekend and the other one had basketball so there’s been no time for that 😉
so what’s wrong, he asks, wondering why we are talking about this on my funny valentine post
You made me chuckle remember?
That is what I am here for, remember
Oh, there’s a reason. Good to know

You forgot our stomachs. I think our stomachs is the thing that reacts first. You get butterflies in your stomach and then you feel like you are going to throw up. That I am told is the ultimate sign you are in love.
I thought of that, but I decided to just include it in the whole torso thing.
What about loved ones that make tasty goodies for us? The stomach plays a role there, doesn’t it? What about the saying, “The quickest way to a man’s heart is through his stomach” (which applies to women, too, especially if their men know how to make fudge)?
jak can cook. Cimmy can bake. I’m the cook, she’s the baker. Together we make tasty, tasty stuff!
You just reminded me to have some lunch.
Hehehe. 🙂
ha
We still taste with our mouths, so I guess I have food covered
It’s the starting point, anyways. Mouth, throat, stomach, intestines… you get the idea.
that’s far enough
Any further and I get into deep doo-doo. 😉
HA!!!
