So I became aware that I could lick my elbow when I was in 7th grade. It was the end of the year and my carpentry teacher announced to the class that anyone who could lick their elbow would receive an automatic A in the course. I actually did it, and showed the class. Unfortunately, he did not give me the A, but everyone in the class was amazed. I do it all the time now, just to prove that it ISN’T impossible. And There was another entry on here about someone who could lick their elbow and he said “You have to be flexible, and stretch before you do it”, well I’m disproving that statement. I am probably the least flexible person I know, and I’ve never had to stretch to lick my elbow. It just comes naturally, I guess!

izzy^_~ maybe it's not my weekend, but it's gonna be my year
How I did it: In middle school a teacher told my class that it was impossible for humans to lick their own elbows. So of course the entire class had to try. And lo and behold! I could do it! It was really easy, all I did was pull back my arm and stick out my tongue. After that all my classmates called me an alien for a long time:( But now people ask me to do it all the time just cause they don't believe me. I even got a picture in the yearbook be… Read how I did it…

I have been able to lick my left elbow since as long as I can remember. People used to stop me in the halls at school just to see me do it.
Me and my younger brother can do this, so maybe its genetic or something lol. I can only do it with my left elbow though. cab anyone lick both?
just turn your arm around and lick it while its outstretched its really not that hard!
i was born with my left elbow dislocated. and ive always been able to lick it.
only the left one though.
so i cant help anyone out, unless you dislocate your elbow and you pop it back in a lil higher up than before..
...and I so can’t do it. But I am getting some strange looks… :-)
One time at computer camp, I had a sore on my elbow and I was licking it. I have no clue why, but I was. Someone came up to me and said it’s impossible to lick your elbow. But I was still able to. No matter what. Licking your elbow’s fun to do, if you want to impress people on your flexibility!
Yeah, that hurt. I don’t recommend that anyone else do it. Owie…arms aren’t supposed to twist like that…
I can do this! I also can touch my nose, chin, knee, and my elbow with my tounge. When I show people what I can do with my tounge, they try to do it, and they can’t do it.
