If you could eliminate one human/biological function and not suffer, which would you pick?
Eating.

I hate eating.

One sits there and eats.

Then burps.

I'll tell you what happens later, but I digress.



Sleeping is my #2 choice; there's so much in life to explore and experience and for 8+ hours per day we just lie horizontally and do nothing. What a grand waste of time!


Strange that what makes #3 on my list isn't #1, but (a) I don't get to do it, and (b) I don't want this thread locked! :evilgrin:

In the middle of the night.

I should upgrade my list because that's way more scary than what I wrote.

18. childbearing
There should be children, sure, but squeezing them out like that is a bit medieval. Nope, could live without that experience.
