I was listening to Kevin & Bean this morning while driving and laughing so hard that my sides hurt. Then I noticed a popping or clicking sensation on my right side just beneath by ribcage. It only happened when I laughed. When I got to the gym and looked in the mirror I realized that my 6-pack was really a 5 1/2-pack. A portion of my abdominal muscle actually rests "edge to edge" with my ribcage. The "popping" sensation was from the abdominal contractions I had while laughing. It was popping back and forth between my ribcage. I can push down on it and feel it pop behind my ribs and spring back. If I push firmly you can actually hear the popping noise. It sounds like a tiny bongo drum.
As a result of the asymmetry, my torso bears a striking resemblance to Homer J. Simpson.
Weird.
