Now 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?

Lemme see, my folks were convinced by a school dentist that I needed four of my brand new adult teeth pulled out (I was about 11) in order to ensure that I wouldnt need braces and I wouldnt get crooked teeth.
So they were duly removed by a bunch of trainee dentists (who used to call me swimming pool mouth due to my inability to control my own spit when jammed full of anesthetic)over a period of about two days.
Great.
Turns out later in life that my teeth are crooked anyway, just like my dads and his dads were. Fecking con artists.
I could really use those lost teeth now, having reaped the benefits of a lifelong aversion to dental work, namely decay and further extractions.
I also lost half a front toof after failing to negotiate a speed hump on a go-cart at great speed. Thank my brother for that one.
Oh yeah, and I also had these funny little baby teeth pop up before my wisdom teeth came through, when I was about 20. Very strange I thought.
It's all liquids and jelly from here on in.
