If you had to do without one of your five senses, which would it be? Sight. Then I could imagine I had six pack abs and wouldn't have to look into the mirror and realize I'm not even close.
 
Have you ever milked a cow? Actually yes. My wife grew up on a farm so I've had the pleasure to know what a real hard day’s work is.
