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?

nails and pliersI've had both of my big toe nails removed with pliers-- twice. I played a lot of football as a kid and my boots were too tight, so when I walloped the ball, my toe nails kept snapping off half way down.
That wasn't so bad but of course, the Doctor had to remove the remaining bit of nail. He injected my toe on both sides and it ballooned to the size of a tennis ball in seconds, like I was some kind of frickin' cartoon.
He then got out an instrument that was as technically impressive as a dental instrument from the 1850s to pull the bugger out. I was quite happy that my newly emboldened tennis ball would be able to take it, but no... white hot pain.
It was only on the third of these grizzly operations that I worked out what was going on. I bought some new boots... and clipped my toe nails a bit more often.
