Fortunately, they're never gone for long. Self-respect is regenerative; I have a spare car key; my work ethic is a boomerang -- no matter how hard I throw it away, it always comes back to smack me on the ass; and my motivation can be supplanted by caffeine.
did not include mind or heart, as these things have the appearance of being lost, from my perspective, as a default state. how would i know if i lost something i never had a firm grip on to begin with? *coughcough* reality...
what about underwear? or... or.... losing your SHIT??? and socks. i lose socks all the damn time. and sometimes shoes. and i've known some guys to lose their balls....
I actually know one of those stories. No one really likes to hear it though. Come to think of it, I know two of those stories -- one in which a young man nearly loses his balls, and another in which a young man gets cancer, loses his balls, and has them replaced with prosthetics, which his doctor kindly tells him are *blue*. Permanently. He encounters, of course, all sorts of complications, including PMS type feelings just before his monthly hormone shots . . .
The other story's too gory. And anyway, I mostly wanted to note that "The art of losing isn't hard to master." :)
