A Toast to Science Class

Everyday at Starbucks they have a question of the day and if you get it right you get a free shot. Yesterday the question was, "What important part of the anatomy of the leg are babies born without?"

Me: Can I just guess for fun?
Barista: Sure
Me: Is it the patella?
Barista: No
Me: Can you tell me?
Barista: (whipsering) it's the kneecap
Me: Isn't that the patella?
Barista: I don't think so.
Me: Sigh.

EVERYONE knows that kneecap is the technical term therefore the technical term cannot also be patella and therefore you were wrong. Just face it. It is ok to be wrong sometimes.
