Definitely smell.
A harder choice for me would be whether to go blind in one eye or deaf in one ear. I think I would choose the eye. |

Likewise. I think everyone thinks they will look cool with an eyepatch :D |

I take it "dairy" is not a popular adjective in your diet :p |
Worst case: you taste something really bad and spit it out.

That's easier, imo. With one good ear, you can still hear. Without both eyes, you lose depth perception. |

Your body adapts to it though. It's more like you temporarily lose depth perception. |

Like srussell said, there are cognitive mechanisms that make up for the loss of an eye. I think you lose more sensory richness by losing an ear, though. Try listening to music with an ear totally plugged versus watching a movie with one eye covered. The former just sucks, but the latter seems fine, for me anyway. |

| My Dad has Graves Disease which in some cases can cause the muscles behind the eye to become inflamed which push the eyes outward (kind of like Rodney Dangerfield). He had surgery to correct this, and ended up losing his sight completely in one eye. He couldn't do things like drive and whatnot for a short time afterwards, but it was only a matter of weeks before he "regained" his depth perception, and now he doesn't even notice it. |

Throw him a baseball and see what happens. |

Haha that's funny that you say that. I asked my Dad to play catch the last time I saw him and he said he couldn't because he didn't want to take one in the face. That's still not an ordinary situation though. Most people never encounter a situation where they must dodge a small projectile in order to save their life. Judging a small object with a somewhat variable flight path is a lot different than judging a bus that's driving straight at you. |
