Interesting Question...

My Facebook friend Angela posed an interesting question as her status today. Which of the five senses would you voluntarily do without? It was interesting to read people's answers on her page, because someone answered every single sense and had decent reasoning behind it. I answered easily on Facebook and had a great theory behind it... but I don't want to sway anything here. I'll post my answer later today, but for now... what sense would you ditch, if you had to ditch one?
For those of you who flunked... uh... whatever grade you learned this... here's your options. And no, ESP is not one of them.
Hearing

Sight

Smell

Taste

Touch

Great, now I'm thinking about this instead of working.

Hearing - I hate the thought of no longer listening to great music, other than that hearing wouldn't be so bad to lose. But it would make the U2 concert in october sort of lame.

Sight - Probably the hardest to function without. No way to be blind and not occasionally rely on other people.

Taste - No way. I'm a fat guy. I like my food.

Smell - Smell influences taste. See above.

Touch - That's called leprosy. It's why the wounds never heal and appendages fall off. Without pain we don't know something is wrong. Not sounding pleasant.

Being a fat guy who loves music, independence, and his appendages, I choose to keep them all.

I would have to go with smell. Although everyone says that if you can't smell you can't taste I don't believe it's true...I knew someone who had no sense of smell, and he could still taste. He also wondered why everyone always asked him that question.

SMELL without a doubt. I could not bear to live without the others

I would go with taste. This would save me many calories in the long run. :)

While I think the taste theory is genius, I would have to say smell. My grandma has no sense of smell and I would say she's done pretty well without it. Plus, let's be honest. Living with three boys means there are lots of smells I just don't need to experiece anymore.

Obviously smell. I also believe in that. If you can't smell you can't feel anything...
