you find out you will wake up tomorrow missing one sense of your choice.

which and why?

[Moved from The Haven to Random Discussion]

Apparently "itch" is a sense. I could happily live without that one.

Sight.

Because I can remember what I have seen and I will still be able to hear, communicate, touch taste and smell stuff.

Plus everything might look better if I can't see.

Hind sight!
nobody wants to look at my bum!

I have gone completely deaf a couple of times in my life.

I think it started because I got kicked in the head.

I must say being deaf is absolutely horrendous and what made it worse was that no one believed me, they though I was ignoring them and I got beat up for that too.

You just can't f*****g win.

I think I could tolerate loss of hearing. Most elderly people seem to be gone in that sense, and I hate the sound of human being yakkity yakkity blah blah

Taste, only because I want to be able to eat certain foods (particularly onions) without gagging.

I was born with a rare low vision disorder; I have problems seeing distances, some colorblindness & light sensitivity. I would readily trade my sense of smell to have normal eyesight. I have a lot of allergies & sinus problems; I'm getting surgery to correct a devated septum(the inside of my nose is cooked) on the 7th so hopefully that will help alittle. I have problems smelling at times because of it & I don't usually pay much attention to it when I do.

sight, because it would make me feel like daredevil

My Sense of Morality.

It's a religious construct, anyway, so who needs it?

Smell. I hate the damn cat litter.

Hearing. I can communicate through text, I can watch TV with captions, I can have peace and quiet without earplugs/headphones, and a lot noises are obtrusive anyway, so it would be great not to have to deal with them.

Might suck for people around me because I would probably quickly lose the ability to fart silently and go undetected.

The only things I would miss about it are the ability to hear if something is happening outside (prowler at night, someone pulling in my driveway), and the ability to turn off part of my brain by playing well-recognized and well-liked music so that I can focus on some mundane task that I don't want to do (like cleaning the house).
