Hey everyone. For English class i need to survey people about what sense they would give up and why. So just leave me your answer. it will be interesting to see if unicyclists respond differently than everyone else.
later, Kevin
I’d probably give up my sense of smell. I would miss it, but it wouldn’t be as bas as losing any of the other senses. I need taste to tell if my milk is bad or not, the sense of touch is necessary to tell if you’re trying to ride with a broken leg, losing sight would just plain suck, and being deaf isolates you from the rest of the world.
Anyways, that’s me personal opinion. And I’m back.
I’d be willing to give up all traces of common sense. With a total lack of common sense I’d fit right in with the rest of the population, and it wouldn’t affect my unicycling. 
If I had to give up one of the five senses it would be either taste or smell. I don’t know how food would taste without a sense of taste. A lot of taste comes from smell. Taste and smell go together for enjoying food. Hmmm… I guess I’d give up taste. I’d still have smell so food wouldn’t be completely boring and bland. On the plus side, I’m sure I’d loose weight. Sense of smell is a good thing. It can alert you to smoke (there’s a fire, run!), it can alert you to spoiled milk, and it lets you know when you need to wash your riding gear.
I don’t want to see dead people…

Every Spring my allergies get bad and i compleatly lose my sense of smell. So I guess it would have to be smell.
so that’s why you ride so fast running from the dead they only want help!
people don’t seem to know that smell is a BIG part of taste!

I know that smell and taste are completely interrelated. When you have a cold, food doesn’t have as much flavor. However, the question was about losing one sense, not two, so I just assumed that losing the sense of smell would magically not affect the sense of taste.
Did you know that the sense of smell is the sense that can recall the strongest memories and emotions linked to those memories?
I’d give up taste. I’m pretty fussy with food as it is and I need my eyesight for unicycling and my hearing for drumming and listening to music (as well as the obvious reasons…it would be very difficult to live the rest of your life without those two).
Andrew
Wow its amazing how many people are willing to give up taste I think i might guve up hearing before taste. The one I would give up is my touch or feel for things. Although it would suck to not feel injuries cause u could be hurt and not know it.

Phil beat me to the joke…
Oh! I know! my Fashion sence! it’s underdevellopped anyways so…
I would give up my sixth and seventh senses. I haven’t yet figured out what they are, so they aren’t any use to me. yet…
But one of the five mortal sense, I think my sense of smell. It’s not entirely necessary, like the other ones are.
yah smell would be it because there are a lot of good smells but there are also bad ones. but i would also realy miss it so i woukldnt really like to loose anything at all
I’d say i’d give up my sense of humor, but that wouldn’t be giving up much.
It would be close between smeel and taste. You’d probably only notice is if you were eating, or if you saw something that you usually smell. I’d give up taste I guess.
Andrew
I would either give up smell or taste
probably smell.
I can’t believe that anyone would give up their sense of hearing. To me that seems insane. I have actually had conversations where i have come to the serious conclusion that i would kill myself if i ever went deaf.
I’m not sure if i would actually, but right now i think i would.
Ya i gave thats some more thought and i think i would rather loose taste than hearing. The way I came to that conclusion is that im in american sighn language and deaf people come in sometimes and talk about how they enjo being deaf, and they wouldnt change it, but i think i would like to keep my hearing instead of taste.
Brian
I’d give my taste away. After that I could eat anything. Even the food my mom makes (
just kidding) Luckily I don’t live at home anymore. But after that there would be so many things I could eat even more easily, even though some people claim that I don’t have a sense of taste even now. I can drink olive oil from a bottle. 
kinesthetic sense
When I retire from unicycling, I’ll give up my kinesthetic sense.
I am able to eat alot even with my sence of taste runs out to kitchen cough cough its really not that bad cough cough cough.
i r hinting to what i think you hinting to u ride a bike dont you god u make me sick!ur not ment 2 b here!

I’d lose my sense of taste, because of something a friend told me once. I knew a guy with no sense of smell. This type of discussion came up once, and he had a very interesting insight:
Most of the ‘flavor’ of food is derived from the way it smells. Taste tells you how salty, sour, bitter, or sweet a food is, but everything else is based on smell. This is why food tastes bland when you have stuffed up sinuses, and why the smart contestants on ‘fear factor’ hold their noses when eating or drinking whatever organic substance must be eaten or drunk.
According to Casey, without a sense of smell everything tastes like styrofoam. Since losing either taste or smell will take the flavor out of food, I’d choose to keep my sense of smell, as it has a wider variety of other applications.
