e.g. I'd rather lose my hearing than my sight (fits to Simon & Garfunky ) I'd rather lose a leg than an arm (actually no...er...can I keep them both please?) I'd rather lose my house than my kids I'd rather lose my left kidney than my right one ( I'd rather lose my mtb than my road bike [edit...Duhh...just seen the poll at the top...]
I went for the knife as I do have a few of those lying about in drawers and tool boxes and not too many of the others. (Especially the phone numbers .)
