Pinky or Testicle

Just as a data point, I know a very attractive man who is missing parts of two of his fingers. It is not at all emasculating for him to not have a full number of fingers. I don’t think I’d really be bothered by someone not having a full set of testes either, though.

And personally as a female there are a lot of things that I’d lose before my fingers. I’m a pianist.

I’d say goodbye to the testicle. I type and I play the piano.

Do, however, note that if I should have to face the same question a second time, my answer might change.

I don’t think people were suggesting that losing the fingers is the emasculating choice.

Testicle. Otherwise, how could I drink tea in polite company? :smiley:

You could lose the 1/2 pinky on your non-tea-drinking hand. :wink:

But when I drink from the saucer, I need both raised, right?

You got me there. Testicle it is! :smiley:

Assuming losing them doesn’t hurt, testicle. If it hurts, take my pinky now.

I was thinking the same thing. I can get a Neuticle ™, but getting a new pinky is much more difficult.

You know who had only one testicle?

Hitler, that’s who!

Cool people missing fingers or fingertips: Buster Keaton, Jesse James (the original, not the motorcycle and Nazi enthusiast), James Doohan, Darryl Hannah.

When I was 14 I dropped a heavy object on my left pinky. Smashed it so badly I had to have 1/2" of it amputated.

It hasn’t really been a problem. Still able to play bass guitar. :slight_smile:

I’d have trouble typing without an intact pinky, and I’d also have trouble playing the violin, if it were my left pinky. But I don’t think I’d miss one testicle, assuming the other one is working. I’m already doing testosterone therapy, so I’d just get the shots more often.

Testicle. You can always buy a neuticle if you want to look like you have a matched set. Wait, do they have those for people? Or just buy a dog one in a good size.

Do I get to choose which testicle as well?
mmm

I’d be willing to give up part of the pinky. I have a broken one (above the first joint nearest to the fist) that isn’t much use. It’s basically just a lever that I use as required. It only slows my typing a bit.

I, too, like the testicle redundancy. The twins don’t like to be separated. They told me once. Once was enough.

Also, if I give up something, what do I get in return? It better be good. I could make more money off eBay if I could sell parts.

Hey, if one of them is pissing you off, by all means that testicle.

Well, I nearly have lost the tips of fingers before—one recently, but the first one was the pinky. But for all the pain and inconvenience, I can’t help but suppose losing a testicle would hurt more, and be harder to treat. Even if I don’t plan on having kids any time soon, and I still have a backup.

It’d be harder to show off/brag/lie about the scar, too. At least with a finger, I can tell little kids that Gollum bit it off.

That’s interesting - because it was almost losing part of his pinky that made my friend think he’d rather lose a testicle.

most guys could function OK on a one banger. if that got caught in the meat grinder you could take hormones for some of the purposes and wear falsies.
