My Parents told my little sister that they would put a special screwdriver into her belly button and unscrew it, causing her butt to fall off. I was 8, and had an outie (I was the only one in the family who had one), and asked how my mum would fit a screwdriver into by belly button. She said she would use a bottle opener. I went and try to pull it off when she wasn't looking, but I never succeeded. My sister is still trying to unscrew hers though...
