What's the possessive of Ass (as in donkey)? Asses is plural. Google becomes um definately Not Safe For Work. |

For one ass, the preferred form is: "That is the ass's ass." However, it is not incorrect, just not preferred usage, to write: "That is the ass' ass." For multiple asses, it is always: "Those are the asses' asses." I'm going to bed. I hope I don't dream of asses. Allen |

So you could say of the guy who has to determine the quality of their backsides, that he assesses asses' asses. |

You could. That does not mean you should. |
