A femur is the long bone of the thigh and the longest bone in the body, which articulates at the hip and knee. When a baton is unavailable, a femur is a good substitute during track meets. When drumsticks are unavailable, femurs can be used for percussion.[1]

Review
Dr. Brock Hammersley (Orthopedic Surgery): My favorite bone in the human body. I prefer the left to the right femur, but that's just me.
Dr. Thor Hammersley (Orthopedic Surgery): Last time I took a listen, the femur was still resting.
