I got ten, but one of them might get you into a fist fight in some bars I've drunk in.

Welcome, ShellB! We have so few visitors from Oz; I hope you will stick around.

To my chagrin, I can only think of five.

So that's why you guys white text sometimes. I'm sorry! I knew I'd regret it but couldn't help myself. Surely there are others.

My bar fight one was lap. The fight would have broken out between the person who proposed it and the one who claimed that it wasn't so much a body part as a place on the body that only existed during a particular configuration of the body.

Didn't get gum though. That makes ten.

Congratulations and gold stars all round. You even came up with a few i didn't consider. The ten i had in mind were . . . . . . toe, leg, hip, rib, arm, gum, eye, ear, lip and . . . . . . . . JAW. But now that i think of gut may also be an acceptable responsible. Lap could also be an interesting debate.
