Neither would be ideal, but If I lost my legs, I would need less adjustment to live a normal life then if I lost my arms.
No legs = use a wheelchair, stairs are a real bitch, probably have very tired arms...
No arms = no need for a wheelchair, doors are a real bitch, don't have very flexible legs, and very little fine motor control of my toes ... so I'd be hosed.

You could just have a wall of Fleshlights mounted waist high. Have a day laborer clean them out weekly, so that they stay fresh.

That would be awkward after a while, though. Driving up to Home Depot, honking your horn, waving your hook and having every undocumented worker ignore you.

I think I'd rather lose my legs.

Lose the legs.

I can crawl, roll a wheel chair and pull myself with arms. With legs... I guess I could mash a keyboard and walk to... whatever?

Lose my arms, hopefully in some horrible accident that gets me a huge payout, and pay hot bitches wait on me hand and foot for the rest of my life. Then I can laugh at all you legless bastards jerking it while my hot bitches do it for me.

Not true. There was/is a member here that was a paraplegic and typed with a pencil in his mouth.

I would rather have 4 arms and 8 legs and be 100' tall.

i remember there was this legless blonde chick on oprah once a long while back.
she was kinda cute..and married with kids and all that. she got along pretty well. it didn't hurt that she had good looks though.
