I cleaned out the office fridge the other day, all I can say is that was a smell I could do without....
For the first time in my life I wish I couldn't smell

There was toast in your fridge?
haha.1. Hearing - I'm a musician, although possible to do without hearing, it makes it much, much more difficult. My performance career would likely be over, along with my teaching job.
2. Sight - I like seeing and am a visual learner. Difficult but not impossible though. I could still do my job and perform, but it would be a challenge.
3. Touch - I like touching, but again, I could still do what I love most without it.
4. Smell - Smell is good, but see no. 3.
5. Taste - not that I dislike food, but I think I could live well taking a little pill with all my nutrients and be fine.

We use all of our senses when we eat. As we know, smell is part of taste. The look of a scrumptious meal can be enough to make you smile. Part of the eating sensation is touch: feeling the steam coming out of your soup, the harder skin and softer insides of an apple (the fruit kind, not the computer kind!), the coolness of an iced drink, the magic disappearing act of cotton candy. Hearing isn't quite as important, perhaps, but the crunch of that apple is part of the experience, and I'd hate to miss that slurping sound when you get to the bottom of the milkshake.
Yes, eating just won't be the same with fewer senses.

1. Hearing (took a test at school and I was ranked at top 1% of people my age at frequency range)
2. touch
3. smell
4. taste
5. sight
first 4 great, last one sucks.
left eye 20/100 (i think, it was getting better but now its much worse), 20/30 in right. On top of all that I'm colorblind. Which I've read gives me an advantage at night/low light over non-color blind people.
edit: that above is what are best to worse.
what order of least wanting to loose them.
1. Hearing
2. sight
3. touch
4. smell
5. taste
(cause if you loose smell you loose most of taste)

I've have a friend who lost his sense of smell through a brain injury after getting beaten up. he can still tell the difference between bitter, sour and sweet but not taste. So if you lose you sense of smell you also lose taste, bit of a sod really.

2. Touch
3. Hearing
4. Taste

I am a total child in that the dark scares me, I think I would be terrified of being blind. Sense of touch is very important to me too because, well, DUH!
I don't want to lose any of them though. kthxai!

OK, that loud clanging sound was the penny dropping. Wow I feel stupid. How the hell did I not see that??? Must be having a blonde day to day
As any scientist can tell you, women have extra senses like telepathy, clairvoyance, and precognition. Men counter that with their innate ability to sense the correct direction without ever having to stop the car to ask for help.
