Are you still 100% OEM?

Much to my chagrin, and based on medical advice of doc's in the early '60s (i can't blame my parents), i'm missing one especially significant (to me) piece of original equipment.

I am intrigued.

Calling Shameless, calling Shameless: He's "intrigued" by my circumcision. :lol:

Sorry, I couldn't resist. And you know he was bound to pop up and make a comment all on his own. :p

Anyway, yes, back in the day -- at least in my hometown -- the doc's didn't even give the parents an option. My mom was told to bring me to the doctor's office something like a week after I was born to be circumcised. Being the dutiful mother, she did it. Damn her Borg-like compliance. :klingon: ;)
Sorry, you made it sound more exciting, like you got your balls removed or something.

Circumcisions are quite mundane.
 
All wisdom teeth are gone. I had my mastoid bones (spongy bones below the ear) removed, and some inner ear bones replaced (yeah, I have a dead guy's ear bones in my head!). Have pierced ears.

Still have appendix, tonsils, adnoids.

LOL! Guess that's what I get for trying to be discreet in "polite company." :lol:
 
It just seemed weird because you sounded upset about your circumcision. I mean, I don't see too many circumcised people wishing they still had foreskin.
 
I guess extending to toenails, I'd be "missing" part of might right big toe's nail -part of a "surgery" to fix an ingrown nail.
 
My wife truly is 103% - she has a superneumary (extra) tooth when her second set came through. And with nothing else removed during her life, she's more than original.

:)

So do my 2 extra wisdom teeth cancel out my two removed tonsils?
 
I was going to use geek slang and declare that, like an action figure, I am 100% cherry.

And then I stopped and actually thought about that metaphor for a minute...
 
Missing three teeth, two cosmetically removed and one fractured clean in two and was a 5-root-canals job or it came out. Having endured the horror of a root canal once before, I was keen to remove it.

Other than that, I'm to factory spec.
 
I've had a few regular teeth pulled, but no wisdom teeth. I've still got everything else. Especially everything else. :cool:

I've got some wires holding my jaw together after some surgery when I was seventeen.

So I'm about 99 44/100 % pure. :angel:
 
Aside from a few teeth, all original, augmented by glasses (as I think a few people here might say :) ).
