Ear or Internet

[moonlettuce]

So, we were talking at work today and the question came up of would you rather lose an ear or the Internet, and there were only two of us who chose the ear option. (The phrase 'Lose the 'net? Are you kidding?! I've got two ears; take one of those!' may have been uttered.)

People seemed quite bemused by the fact that we'd willingly give up a body part if it was between that and never being able to be online ever again. We were rather bemused that they apparently thought we'd have to think about it for more than a nanosecond.

Anyway, I was thinking? Are we freaky? Is this the normal response to the choice between the home of zombie goat bukkake versus a body part? And then I thought, surely we're not the only ones who think that the loss of an ear would be much easier to deal with that losing our beloved broadband connection. Who else would make that choice? Who else is discerning enough, thoughtful enough? Who else spends more time than me reading rampant porn online? A-ha! The flist!

So, tell me: ear or internet?

(When I say lose an ear, I mean chopped off and loss of hearing in that side. You get to chose which side *g*)

That was the only downside I could see. My glasses would slip, but, hey, there's always sellotape ;)
