Coffee taster's tongue worth £10m

The tongue of the chief coffee taster for a worldwide chain of coffee shops has been insured for £10m ($13.95m).
Gennaro Pelliccia personally tastes a sample of each batch of raw coffee beans at its London plant before they are roasted and shipped to its stores.
"My 18 years of experience enable me to distinguish between thousands of flavours," he says.
So has anyone here got a particular body part they think should be insured for more than a tenner?

If his tongue is worth that much why has he got a bit of sheep poo on it? :)
