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?

fingersas i've shamefacedly admitted before, i'm a lawyer.
there was a famous case a while ago where a worker had lost a finger in a machine. after going to hospital to have the gaping gash sewn up and having time off to recuperate, he went back into work.
"but i don't understand," his boss said, scratching his head and looking sympathetic but puzzled. "how did you do it?"
"like this," said the bright spark, plunging his other hand into the machine...... and yes, losing another finger.
true story. i'd cite the party names but (i) i can't remember them as i'm not a slips and trips lawyer, and (ii) nobody cares anyway!
