I choose gluteal, because it's the biggest part, and gives the impression of maximal foolishness if you can't distinguish that from an elbow.
That's an interesting point, actually. I totally agree with the bigness being the important thing.
But I've a feeling that it's not just because they're totally different, but because they have tangential points of similarity (as evinced by the arse/elbow picture quizes), so have a tantalizing suggestion of possibility which two completely incompatible objects wouldn't, that gives it a greater suggestion of stupidity.
But I've no idea if that was meant in the genesis of the phrase or if I just imagined it myself. If it is an aspect, it would be another argument in favour of "gluteal", which influenced me if not anyone else :)
