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?

A couple of good tips...I've managed to cut the tip of a finger off...twice. Once was kind of reasonble the other was stupid.
The second time I did it at furniture college, brushing some irritating little off-cuts away from the circular saw blade. I didn't let them irritate me after that. Not too bad once I'd calmed down, but my Saturday job at a builders' merchants wasn't much fun for a couple of months.
The first time was when I was working in kitchen as a Saturday job when I was in the 6th form. Now I'm very careful with knives, they are sharp and can cut you, but when one of the waitresses was told to tie her hair back and the ribbon was too long, I failed to take adequate procautions. I used a little serrated Kitchen Devil which snagged on the ribbon and somehow cut the tip of my middle finger off my left hand. I had time to see the little round tip land on the worktop before the blood started to pour. I saw the funny side ten minutes later as I sat in the office with my hand over my head (to help stem the flow) as it was wrapped in blood-soaked cotton wool and blue kitchen plasters. It looked like I was giving a massive red, white and blue finger to the World in general.
Aah, I'd do anything to get a smile from the waitresses in those days...still got a little scar there as the sodding cotton wool got stuck in the wound and the finger-print didn't grow back.
