If you had to lose a sense...

... Which would you lose?


Ability to:

See
Hear
Taste
Touch
Smell

I think Smell is the least useful, but i think i'd go with losing the ability to Taste. Everything would taste the same (not taste at all) so imagine how much weight you'd lose :pac:

I can't really think of any downside to it though, except that you'd probably miss the taste of chocolate/tayto/whatever you like.

Peared

The common one.

I is too posh for it.

My sixth sense...the ability to see dead people is wasted on me.

You should get into necrophilia.

minxie

One is inclined to select the sense of smell to be the sacrificed.... but one would miss the smell of one's own farts.

Taste, then I'd be able to wear most of the stuff in the back of my wardrobe again.

Touch

Smell is a good early warning system to prevent suffocation at the hands of toxic fumes.

I'd get rid of taste. Yes I'd miss the taste of delicious things but at least i would eat more healthy food.

Dord

Spidey sense, definitely.

biko

I never had much sense anyway

Touch

If you can't smell can you still taste? That one confuses me, thought they were linked. I would get rid of smell, though in the poll I accidentally chose taste as I am quite tired..

AlmightyCushion

My sense of dignity. Finally I can walk around without pants on.

No. And they are.

I would ditch hearing. No more nagging. Though I'd have to give up my choons. But I could still hum them in my head or put on something with big bass.

I don't think I could ever give up taste/smell, two of the finer senses of life. People underestimate how hard that would be. I could still watch my programmes with subtitles and being a fan of Non English speaking films this is something I do frequently anyway.

But think of it so: Which is the least indispensable for daycent shex?

A) Sight. you need to know who or what you're screwing
B)Taste. I love those creamy thighs and that cabernet tinged toungue. Meow babes.
C) Touch. Really now?
D) Smell, that Eau Clarins perfume and those phermones.
E) Hearing? Talking ruins quality fcking. And screamers are overrated and annoying. Go watch When Harry Met Sally you pussy. Will miss headboard >>> Wall though. And a few of the other acoustical stimuli.

what about sense of balance? It'd be great you'd be constantly drunk but without the priviledge of having your wallet raped too

I only learned that these 'extra' senses were recognised recently, through the good people in the QI book (they're in there, I swear). And the second I read the thread title I though balance!!

Burial

Smell. Though isn't smell like 25% of the taste of stuff?

I'd give up my sense to see.

I am sick of seeing Mary Harney's fat face on tv being blamed over another scandal.

Doctor DooM

My sense fo balance, of course.



there's always one

Tabnabs

My sense of humour, for the craic.

AnonoBoy

Sense of Dignity.

Lost that a loooooong time ago!

DEmeant0r

Touch

Sense of taste, it's the least indispensable of the lot.

Did you give up your common sense or were you born without it?

Burial

I'm giving up the sense to see dead people

Kold

Nonsense.

jim o doom

Burial

Common sense

chin_grin

Jane Austins' Sense and Sensibility. I f*ckin hate Once-a-month Dramas.

Frisbee

Smell

I'd get rid of touch. Although then you might not notice if you put your hand on the cooker...
But, you could also use that as a bad ass party trick...

emeraldstar

I would have thought smell would be the obvious answer.

Ass Face 1 1.41%

I see what you did there :pac:

KnifeWRENCH

Touch

My sense of well-being.
*breaks out in hysterical sobs*

Of the 5 main ones, definitely lose taste. The others are more important.

The Batman

Taste over smell??? I'd miss my ketchup!!

KTRIC

I would have to say decency

AckwelFoley

Id Choose my sense of decorum. Its a sense that doesnt work for me anyway.

ejmaztec

I was going to post a few pages pack that I wouldn't mind losing my sense of urgency, but I obviously already lost it.

R0ot

Was tide between taste and smell, but smell in the end seems the better of the two as I like the spicy taste of my Cajun chicken and a nice chilli sauce on my subway!

To the few that chose touch, ARE YOU INSANE or just not getting any? :pac:

did you watch Dara O'Brianan too?

Any of the above minus......sight.
The possibly of totally losing my sight scares me moreso than Death itself.
Wouldn't mind the lack of smell. Urban areas can stink so bad.
