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?

saw pointa good friend of mine, v well educated (expensive and exclusive public school, good university etc) decided that rather than follow the family tradition and going into banking, the city etc, was going to become Outdoor Man, and got a job with a firm of fencing contractors. One afternoon, working on a job involving post-and-wire fencing, he mislaid his fencing pliers, and couldn't cut the wire to lenght. So, being a practical chap and not wanting to face the ignominy of admitting to losing the pliers (akin to losing yr rifle in the army, apparently), he wrapped the lenght of wire round both hands, and.....
put the wire into the spinning circular saw.
university education? can't beat it. As he's reminded of every time he looks at his stumps.
