Elton John transformed his kneecaps into jewelry following his knee replacement surgery.

A
That’s hilarious. I wish I’d done something similar with my wisdom teeth
B
I’ve always been told no when I asked to keep them.
R
Sometimes they’re crushed and removed in pieces.
D
Funny you say that. I asked for mine and my surgeon said the same thing. When he came to check on me after surgery he was GLOWING and said We Gottem! As he handed over a baggy with 4 perfectly intact wisdom teeth. Man was pleased with himself.
C
Can’t believe he actually pulled it off
P
I see what u did there.
G
I thought you meant kneecaps for a second there
P
If you want I know a guy that knows a guy that knows someone who could make that happen
L
I AINT SEEN NUTTIN
T
Surgeon hands over a bag of 4 kneecaps.

They sawed one of mine in half while they were removing it. I had the operation with local anaesthetic only, and the taste of burning tooth remains etched into my memory. To this day it’s probably one of the worst things that I’ve ever tasted.
P
I had a cracked molar that came out in two pieces, and got some strange looks for asking to take the pieces home with me. But I got em!
I
How often do you get wisdom teeth out?
S
Their comment kinda implies they go around asking for other people’s wisdom teeth
B
Maybe they got them out at different times?
B
I had a nurse ask me if I wanted to see/keep my gallstones. I was disgusted she asked, but my curiosity got the better of me. Then she couldn’t find them.
D
Suspicious.
T
My hungry ass could never be a nurse
D
“uh oh, they usually say no…” – your nurse probably
P
Wait… I think I know what happened to [them](https://youtu.be/FotaVOEOgjM?si=WxKnYi5VKHx0aFi5)…
E
Well, that was unsettling.
P
You know and I know I shouldn’t but I did and yup I was not dissapointed, the dangers of random Reddit links 😂
C
At least in Canada they can’t refuse you any part of your body that is removed or detached unless it’s a biohazard. It’s literally you, they can’t take it.
A
I don’t think I would want my asshole anyway.
R
This is how I know you’re full of shit.
M
I got to keep all 7 of mine and then lost them.
S
I woke up from my anesthesia to them handing me mine lol. They’re disgusting
G
Okay, so I had a bunch of teeth removed and they let me keep *all* of them… still got a bag full of teeth in my office. Guy also tried getting the 3d model / X-ray scan of my skull for me to use. Cool dude.
H
I doubt they would tell some one whos rich and famous no
F
But, you are also not Sir Elton John 😆
A
I was asked if I wanted to keep them but they looked scary so I said no
L
I still have my wisdom teeth and I’m kinda inspired by this, ngl.
D
I have mine somewhere, I’d always planned on making dice with them.
S
My oral surgeon gave my drugged out ass the option to take them home and I said yes. Didn’t know what to do with them and my mom didn’t want to put them in my baby scrap book so I just buried them in the backyard
C
I have mine in a jar of alcohol for exactly this
C
I asked and they told me no 🙁
D
I put mine on a bracelet chain!
J
I smashed my wisdom tooth with a hammer on the floor after they took it out as an act of revenge for causing me so much pain.
C
I kept mine to make cuff links like in the Great Gasby. Still haven’t gotten around to it ~20 years later, but I still have my molars in my watch box.
S
I mean, they’re his bones from his body, he’s entitled to do what he wants with them. But wearing them as jewellery is certainly unusual.
T
🎵 I’m still standin’ after all this time…. 🎶
G
Be-knee and the Jets
A
Kneekita
S
Not necessarily Every time I’ve had bone parts removed I was told there’s no way in hell I’m allowed to have them post-op
R
Have you tried being Elton John before asking?
S
His left nut has more talent than I do
E
And that’s by far the least talented of the two since he clearly always favors the right nut.
B
I often find it’s the undernut that punches above its weight
P
That’s nothin! Just wait till it gets turned into an earring.
D
When I had the titanium plate on my collar bone replaced, I was given the old one with some bone fragments still attached
