I feel so left out. I’m still all factory original.

Never had either a hymen or wisdom teeth - so had none to loose.

Tonsills, appendix, gall bladder all in original working order.

I’m not missing anything, but my ass has a crack in it.

As far as I knew, the frenulum was a part of the penis (the one on the underside).

I still have my foreskin (hah!), but I’m missing some hair from the top of my head. I have a feeling that I’m going to continue to be missing some hair in the future. 😕

I’m missing a salivary gland, 3 wisdom teeth, and some regular teeth were pulled out to make way for braces.

You may be my evil twin, or I yours. Except that I think my wisdom teeth waited till I was 25, or at least that’s the first I remember noticing them coming in. One of them finally started bothering me enough to have it removed five years later. The others don’t bother me, though my dentist thinks I should have the one that’s halfway in removed because he finds it hard to get at for cleaning and therefore it may eventually become abcessed.

I started having trouble with the gall bladder roughly about the same time the wisdom teeth made their first appearance, but it came out a lot faster. I still think that was the best thing I ever did.

I’ll take both of the Youthful Idealisms, the large chunk of intellect, the brain cells, and I know someone who can put the foreskins to good use. That is, if they’re not claimed by the original owners.

If no one claims it, can I have some of the breast tissue? I’ll also take the Mercedes, and the ex-girlfriend’s ass if I can trade my own for it.

Foreskin  
Tonsils  
Adenoids  
17 teeth (being replaced slowly, at great expense)  
I’ll take those foreskins if nobody wants them. I would make a really cool change purse, that when you rub it, it turns into a wallet.

Playing doctors and nurses :)?

I am missing tonsils, adenoids (whatever they are), and a foreskin.

64 teeth.(Do we get 32 baby teeth?)

foreskin

One section of artery from my right leg.

Second toe on my right foot.

A WHOLE lot of energy that I had 20 years ago!

Other than all that I am good to go.
