If you had to lose one of your senses, which would it be?

We had this conversation one very slow night at work. It was quite enlightening.

...but most folks would say I don't have one anyway.

Then I thought Sense of Smell, since losing it would benefit the task of cleaning litter boxes. However, I'd surely miss the fragrance of my rose garden.

So, I settled on Sense of Taste, as I could surely stand to lose weight, which may be an outcome of not tasting food any longer.

to lose sight and not be able to read. Braille and audio books would not cut it.

Ditto sense of hearing. To never hear music again...devastating.

I love scents and perfume so would want sense of smell.

Taste...meh. I probably wouldn't care much about losing that.
