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?

As a teenager, my dad was a bit of a chemistry whizz- and being a teenager, he turned this knowledge to the making of bombs and guns.
So one evening he was in the shed stuffing volatile chemicals down a piece of copper pipe when it blew up, taking half his left hand with it. Now he's only got a thumb, forefinger and weird little stumpy middle finger, all bent round and claw-like. And it's got a square patch of body hair on it where he had a skin graft from his stomach. But he can wedge a beer can into it, so that's alright.
The next door neighbour found two of his fingers by the bin the next day. Did she give them back? Oh, no. She put them in the bin.
