“Three in the digestive system. Esophageal, Pyloric, and Anal, everyone’s favorite.”

You missed one: the sphincter of Oddi. So your girl was even more sphincter-iffic than you realized.

And, the sphincter of Oddi's close neighbor, the sphincter of Boyden.

Well yes, but in the path of the lumen there are three....(four if you count the ileocecal valve).

I mean there are precapillary sphincters too small for the eye to see. And the pupillary sphincter that allows us to see the way we do. And the urinary sphincter that keeps us from pissing our pants.

But for the purposes of making a joke......

It was a good one too, the laughter roared out! And I even managed to say it with a straight face. ;)
