Sea cucumbers do have asses though. There is a tiny fish called a pearl fish that spends its entire life in the butt of a sea cucumber. http://www.reefed.edu.au/explorer/anima ... mbers.html

to tell them apart from normal cucumbers who have arms.

most people don't know cucumbers have arms as the farmers chop them off when the cucumbers are small fruit. this cruel mutilation stops them from escaping from your refrigerator.

They must have feet too then.

At our store we chop 'em off when they come out of the box just like de-iceing the brocolli ;)
