Missing body partsNow there are some bits of your body you don't mind losing - my dad's just got rid of a kidney stone, my own tonsils once tried to asphyxiate me, and nobody wants warts.
Other bits are more useful - a family friend recently lost an arm... which would be OK if his job wasn't managing dis-armament talks.
What have you lost, and where did you leave it?

ToenailWell...I don't have a big toenail on my left big toe anymore.
Why?
It became ingrown and infected. It was ingrown for years and infected for a year or two.
I was in the army (reserves) on a field exercise and it hurt, so I took my boot off to look at it. AND it was all yellow with pus and there was some blood. The medics saw it and took me to some kind of field hospital and remove a chunk of it.
I guess that didn't work.
So last week I went to the surgeon to give him a look at it and when I got there he already had his stuff practially all set up!
He asks me if I just want it out today.
"SURE!"
So, he sticks some needles in for the freezin'...which doesn't work all the way up to the top. He then stick a needle under my toenail to freeze the top. This all hurt.
He then took scissors and cut it right in two and took it out...half frozen. Went home with it all wrapped up.
It unfroze that day and hurt like a son of a bitch.
It's alright now. GROSS as hell but I can walk on it.
