Oh, cool...now I can have my Gene Simmons tongue! Wonder if we are now going to be getting spam for "tongue extensions"?

Expanding on Andrew's idea ... if you take Viagra orally, how would you take tongue tablets?

THey keep the other guy alive long enough to take his tongue, then turn off life support? That kinda creeps me.

What a yeuch-inducing subject. I've got this mental image of the poor recipient spitting out a smelly, blackened object after the anti-rejection drugs fail. Thanks for the visual, Tim.

It would have to be a tongue from the opposite sex. Or no op.

...haven't rejected a tongue yet. Don't think I ever will.

I hope it wasn't that tongue that wiggles across the road and through a party into somone's bathroom in order to retrieve a bottle of beer from the bath for its owner. You just never know where tongues have been or what they've been up(to).

Ken? That's kind of how most transplants work.

When are they going to implant the first waist-level one?

Tongue frequently appeared on our table when I was growing up.

Salty, with a mild taste and a softish texture not unlike liver, apart from the outer skin which was sometimes a little bristly.

The ideal cold meat to go with summer salads and perfect in sandwiches with just a scrape of pickle.

As a registered organ donor should I have a disclaimer attached that my tongue, (and other appendages) has already been rejected by a number of potential recipients?

(They didn't know what they were missing out on, poor women.)
