If nothing else (and there really is nothing else) losing the middle
finger would at least give you and others a standing joke to work
with.
"What was the toughest part about losing your middle finger?"
"Learning to drive again."

Interesting observation, though. Which finger would someone pick to
lose if they had to lose one? I'm guessing pretty much everyone would
pick the pinky.*
