*left eyes twitch*
Look,
mammal.
When your ancestors came up with the concept of endoskeletons, do you know everyone thought it was a
joke?
Every other civilized creature in the cosmos told ourselves it was just a fad and tried to ignore you. It's just so FREAKY and disgusting! I mean, you look like you swallowed a connectix set. Yes, yes, yes... exoskeletons eventually caught on, and while they aren’t for everyone, the smooth curves and glossy exteriors are not unpleasing to the eye.
After all, The EYE has been around for several eons and IS the definitive expert on Style.
Normally organic material should undulate and flow, not… ughhhh… defy local gravity and stand upright JUST because you have poles stuck inside you! If you want to stretch towards the heavens, just leave the confines of your gravity well like a
NORMAL organic material!
We all tried to ignore it, but more and more things started walking around with endoskeletons. Yes, it's WIERD, however, we ran the numbers and there are way more things without skeletons then with, so we figured if it was such a low percentage, it was eaiser just to ignore you. BUT THEN you leaped into space and landed on your nearby primary satellite and that's when I became all, "Oh Hell To The No!" and started thinking those 'No Bones' protestors who glue themselves to interdimensional corridors and block traffic to protest your existence are on to something.
What's worse, just last *
Hherhrghsgh* one of my spawn was planning on going out to devour a civilization when I noticed it wasn't undulating correctly. When pressed, the spawn became evasive. Then I noticed that it had stuck long poles inside itself, not unlike an endoskeleton. That's when I sternly waggled a pseudopod in a disapproving fashion at it and exclaimed, "You are NOT going out to consume dressed like THAT young lord of Existence!" Immediately it started complaining about how all the other spawns were doing it and I responded, "If everyone else climbed into a singularity, would you follow?" Then I banished her to the Plane of Resplendent Agonies. I mean, only the second one. I wasn't THAT upset… She just needed to learn some manners. Manners that can only be learned by wallowing in abject misery.
I know, I know, spare the ego-flaying, spoil the spawn. I guess I’m just an old softy at heart.
But I
digress.
My point is that this whole "bone" thing has gotten out of hand.
Have you ever been in a crowded elevator when someone farted?
That's what everyone else thinks about you and your bones.
And the smell is just...
LINGERING.
I'm not trying to be cruel here. I'm just telling you what everyone else is thinking but is too polite to tell you. There are whole joke books about your guys. "101 Jokes About Sentient Three-Dimensional Fleshbags With Internal Bones." It's in the top 20 Amazon book sales consistently for a reason. You are the laughingstock of the universe and this is why nobody talks to you.
(Side note: Yes, I can read your thoughts and I know you are asking, why do you like cats? Answer: Because cats don't have bones. You THINK they have bones, but they don't. See?

Show me a single bone inside this cat. I DARE YOU.
...
Besides the ones Feetz may have eaten, of course.)
My Advice? Just Stop having bones, if for no other reason than because it's a terrible influence on our spawn. If you don't stop having skeletons, we might be forced to take action. I'm sure you can see how I am only thinking about the future of our spawned abominations that should not exist. It's just common courtesy.
I don't take my Trash out and leave it on the curb until the night before pick-up.
YOU can get rid of your bones. A trivial request, when you think about it.
It's called being a GOOD NEIGHBOR. Humanity could try it sometime.
Please don't get all up in arms about freedom of speech or artistic expression, because between you and me, you just don't have the limbs to spare.

PS,
Having thought about it, to show how generous I can be, I'm willing to meet humanity halfway. Have you thought about exchanging all the hard parts for cartilage? I think it would still look funny, but at least it would show everyone that you are trying to fit in, and MAYBE you'll get invited to more block parties.
Please Don't Make Me Get The Home Owners Association Involved. Let's keep this CIVIL.
