If you could get rid of one bodily function or part

Period. Can’t think of anything else right now because I am sitting here with terrible cramps and a craving for Taco Bell.

If I had my wish, I’d never have to shave again. Ever.

Do you really hate shaving that much or do you just want to be a Native American? :wink:

Speak for me anytime.

Dental hygiene. All that brushing, flossing, bleeding, gargling, etc. I’ve got more important things to do with my life, like going to bed earlier, so I can sleep longer.

Get rid of menstruation? Never. I enjoy having a week out of every month where I’m basically incapacitated, but still have to go to work and to class. I enjoy two solid days of cramps that I have to take prescription strength ibuprofen to get rid of. I enjoy the water retention and resultant leg pain, the feeling of exhaustion and resultant inability to concentrate on anything useful. I enjoy spending all that money on sanitary napkins that I have to change every hour for two days if I don’t want to be sitting in a pool of my own blood, not to mention the cost of underwear that has to be replaced when I have to throw away a couple of pair that get permanent stains. I enjoy being ravenously hungry for fattening foods no matter how much I eat.[/bitter sarcasm]

Yeah. Put me down for getting rid of menstruation.

[sub] I also got a full round of immunizations last week, which I’m having a mild but very unpleasat reaction to, which is making Aunt Flo’s monthly visit that much more difficlt[/sub]

Amen.
Of course, the whole zits thing is something I could do without, but eliminating menstruation would deal with a lot of those.

Childbirth - I mean, we could still have kids, but that whole birthing part is what sort of puts me off the idea of having kids. There would have to be some other way of bringing young into the world.

Take out pooping, man. My stomach is so touchy and those times I’ve spent scrambling to find a public restroom could easily have been spent doing something better.

I can’t believe some people want to do away with sleep! Sleep is the best bit of the day! If I could never sleep again I’d commit suicide.
I woud do away with that which disturbs my sleep - the bladder.

Can I get rid of someone else’s bodily function? I want to get rid of ejaculation. I mean have orgasms all you want, just no semen please.

I love sex. I especially love after sex, lying there all tangled up with each other, totally relaxed, not a thought in my head. Then the semen starts oozing out and I can’t think of anything but hopping up, heading the bathroom and cleaning up.

Toss up between sleeping and shaving.

I friggin’ HATE shaving, and the day I get out of the Air Force is the last day I drag sharp steel across my face.

But think about getting 25% more LIFE! (That crap about sleeping a third of your life…that stops before you graduate high skool, man!)

My watch officer (I’m at work right now) just weighed in on this, and she’d get rid of gas and farting. As long as it goes for EVERYBODY, not just her.

Can I just get rid of “organic-ness” in general? Be an energy being… or a T-1000… or something like the Doctor on “ST:Voyager”?

No aging, no farting, no shaving, no sleeping, no semen, no halitosis, etc. The ability to go places and do things normal people can’t. Virtual immortality. Imperviousness to damage, weather, bugs, toxins, etc. Maybe even the ability to reconfigure yourself to fit your situation.

Even a Commander Data-type android would be an improvement, although I would hold out for more realistic skin and eye color, and the ability to use contractions! :wink:

PUKING. I don’t do it often (knock on wood), but when I do, it’s traumatic. If I never vomited again, I could deal with all of life’s other little curve balls.
