A Little Flesh On These Bones

Bone-tired? Your muscles get tired, actually Well, perhaps it's the fascia the connective tissue sheath mainly collagen beneath the skin attaching or separating the muscles Chilled to the bone? Not likely, fellow unless you are emaciated due to illness or famine or such Otherwise, your bones are probably still body temperature, 98.6F I imagine by now that you've a bone to pick with me Go ahead. I dare you to try that.
