Rocky Mountain Oysters are a popular dish in the Southwest. If you’re ever in Coors Field in Denver, try them with the green chile.
I had 4 premolars pulled to make space for my other teeth. I kept them.
I gave one to Future Husband the night he asked me out. He keeps that one in a little box, away from the other three.
We also kept the 42 unovulated eggs that were surgically removed from my egg-bound iguana. They’re in a jar in the kitchen.
Our kids are going to be so messed up.
After my Mom died, my sister and I were going through her belongings. We came to her jewelry box, and i came across a cheesecloth full of little yellowish balls. There was about 30 of them. Thinking I came across some sort of precious gems I asked my sister what they were. She said they were Mom’s gallstones. The gall stones were removed about 30 years prior.
A friend of mine had to have brain surgery and wanted the doc to take a picture of the brain surface after he’d opened the skull but before he cut into the cortex. She *really *wanted a pic of her brain for curiosity and *how cool is that *points. Sadly, the doc refused.
Shame, as we all wanted to see the pic too.
The good news is the surgery worked out well and solved her problem completely with no apparent collateral damage.
When I was about five or six, a friend of my mother’s gave me one of her wisdom teeth. I thought it was one of the coolest presents I’d ever gotten.
I’ve had six teeth removed - four wisdom teeth and two others (premolars?).
I kept them and made them into a bracelet, which I still have. I don’t wear it much these days, though.
I also have a deal going with a good friend of mine - whichever of us dies first, the other gets to make his skull into a drinking cup.
I even drew up a will to that effect … 
When I was a little kid, my parents didn’t do the whole “tooth fairy” thing. I kept some of my fallen-out teeth for a while. Then I got some cavities in the first molars, but the dentist told my folks these were scheduled to fall out in about 6 months anyway so it was decided not to fill them (this was in the days before dental insurance). Unfortunately, the teeth did not fall out on schedule and all four molars developed massive cavities, generating abscesses and toothaches. When I finally had to have them extracted the dentist asked did I want to keep them, and I said “No! You can take them and BURN them up!” And he told me that was exactly what he would do.
When I had a wisdom tooth taken out when I was about 9 I kept it. It was the coolest thing ever. I took it to show and tell and kept it in a little jar by my bed.
I asked to keep my wisdom teeth and was told by the dentist that he was forbidden by law to give them to me…
Pennsylvania, late 90’s
I’ve got all four of mine. Can’t remember where at the moment, though.
I’ve got all three of mine. They’re still in my head.
That word - I don’t think it … on second thoughts, never mind.
I kept mine! I remember being pleased that they got all 4 out without having to break them into pieces. I think I threw 'em away a couple of years later.
I’m still bummed they wouldn’t let me keep my gallstones :mad:.
The Tooth & Testicles… sounds like an English Pub.
I knew a guy with a necklace he’d put together that included a coon penis and his dessicated finger that’d gotton blown off with primer cord. Call me crazy but I bet he’d love to also grace it with his tooth and some dog balls… three would be nice.
My father, who was part of the surgical staff, showed me my appendix in a jar after the operation.
I’ve also got the complete video from a similar laparoscopy surgery - it was in another hospital and he asked if he could see the file, there was a DVD it as is apparently standard procedure, and I copied it to my laptop which I used for watching scrubs in my hospital bed 
I’m rather thin, but there is quite a lot of fat tissue in the abdominal cavity. And it sizzles when they burn through it with a heated hook. You could almost smell it…
Oh, she exists, all right, but I hear she’s a real nut job.
Saving your tooth and your dog’s testicles is simple, do not bite your dog’s sack.
I’ve had a few people ask for the nards after spay/neuter surgery, but only a few. A couple of biology teachers who wanted to take them in for a class to dissect, and a guy who wanted to use it for catfish bait. Actually, one of the women I used to work with would sometimes save up a week or so’s worth in a baggie in the freezer before fishing trips.
I’ve had far more people want to keep their pet’s teeth after extraction, especially retained deciduous teeth removed at the time of sterilization. By far the most common thing I’ve seen people want to keep after it was removed from their pet, though, is a projectile like a bullet or an arrowhead.
