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?

Tales of loss..My Uncle removed half his hand cutting up wood on a vertical band saw - basically the blade went in between his index finger and wedding ring finger, and went through everything up to his wrist. He found that it had certain advantages - he could dry really thin glasses and could also bowl a cricket ball a lot better than he could before the accident. The Grandfather clock he was making at the time is stained a dark red - blood that we varnished in full respect...
I have a dent in my forehead that runs from top to bottom; I was running through the office when I was on night shift to answer a phone, and I ran into the edge of a steel door. They found me at 7am, semi concious on the floor, face covered in blood.
Oh, and when we were OFSTED'ed last year, I was doing my lesson in front of the inspector and all of a sudden the dull throb I though was from a dodgy sandwich suddenly turned unbelieve-ably painfull, causing me to double on the floor in the lesson. My appendix had decided to split! Off to hospital and immediate surgery. I got a "good" for all parts of the lesson.
