I was just reading a great thread about people who have done wonderful things, met fascinating people, and had great successes. Unfortunately, I’m not one of these people, so I felt the need to start my own thread for those of us who have nothing to contribute.

My obscure claim to fame - I’m the most irritable person in the world. Also, I can pick things up with my toes. Cool, huh?

featherlou, if you’d wash your feet once in a while you might not be so irritable.
