It's but a flesh wound...

ok, things have gotten a little tense in some of the threads, so here is one we shouldn't argue over too much, but still will stop and make you think. i was just reading an article about the guy that cut his own arm off with a swiss army knife to get out from under a boulder. i don't know if i would be able to do it.

so here is the question:
if you were forced to have 1 body part cut off what would it be and why? fingers and toes don't count unless you give them all up.

Is a mole a body part? If not, I'll go with an ear.

ooh, jinx slipped in under the wire. i was just going to add that sensory organs have to go in pairs. (eyes, ears, nostrils)

i think i would give up my left foot. the tendons and ligaments are all shot to hell anyhow. i figure i can use crutches and i'd get a closer parking spot.

That's really difficult to decide. I guess you're not talking about internal parts, either, because I could stand to lose a kidney. And that liver... it'll grow back, won't it? I hope?

I'll vote for the toes. But, then, you can always swap 'em out.

My testicles...I'm not having kids, and can take testosterone injections.

oooh. just the thought of a knife removing portions of manland results in shriveling.

"Manland"? You've got an amusement park in your pants?!?

As per "body parts", I'm assuming that you're not counting hair, even though it's classified as a body part. Or fingernails/toenails either.

As per body parts, I'd go with "toes" as my final answer, Regis. I could learn to walk without them.

I just hope that the toes go to Mrs. Miggins Pie Shop, and be put next to the suspicious-looking sausage.........

What is it with you and your balls? This isn't the first time you've made a comment like that. Should we be worried? Something you're not telling us?

And on second thought I'm not all that comfortable talking about my own balls, can't believe we're talking about yours.

Blechh.

Well as long as we can be picky about it, I could give up my lower left leg, cut off no higher than mid-shin. Or would that be two body parts since there's a foot attached to that leg? Or three if you count the toes as one?

I figure, if someone can climb an impossibly high mountain with a fully prosthetic leg, then I can learn to manage with a prosthetic leg end and foot. As long as I get to keep my arms and hands with their pointy ends, I'm fine :D

i'd give up my brain. i'm not using it.


and sycamore, this is me not touching that testicle comment. i hope you appreciate this.

If I was fat I'd say my second stomach/chin/arse.

As I am not I'd say my appendix, because it was designed for eating grass and we don't use it anymore.

congratulations! you have answered verbatim the same way Jill on "Home Improvement" did when Tim said it.

Either nipple.

I could lose the ovaries. I don't want any more kids, and I'm tired of taking birth control.

Yeah, I gotta go with the foot. Preferably left; I had an ingrown nail taken care of once, and it's never grown back right.

Ummm, lessee...I would have had a snazzy comeback for anything you had to say, so if anything, give yourself a pat on the back for having some self-control. :)

Yeah, this came up not too long ago...can't remember what we were talking about.

But my post in this thread is self-explanatory.

Nope...well, you should always be worried about me showing up at your house unannounced one day...

That can't be true because everyone has heard of blue balls.:D

Unannounced I can handle...ballless is pretty much gonna freak me out.

Rich, yep but there is a cure for that.

Outstanding :thumb:

Lets not turn this into a thread about me, or any of my body parts.

Ok, can I have it then? :D Hopefully, our antigens are a match.

Definitely, my reproductive organs. Totally useless at this point in my life and like Lady Sidhe said, I'm tired of dealing with birth control. :p
