What's your silly skill?

You know what I mean. What pointless skill do you have that gives you disproportionate pride?

Here’s mine: I live in the DC area and I am very skilled at picking a spot to stand in the metro so that when the train arrives the doors open right in front of me. My GF thinks it is uncanny.

What’s yours?

When I was in high school, I had an amazing ability to pick the girl who already had a date for the following Saturday.

Now, I fold up beer cans. It’s no big deal.

I can pick up stuff with my feet! :smiley:

I have no reaction to poison ivy! I used to clear gardens of it for my neighbors when I lived at home.

When the phone rings, I can usually guess who it is and why they’re calling.
I cannot, alas, apply lipstick using my boobs.

I can find good parking spaces anywhere I go. I think others could develop this skill though. My theory is that the closeness of the spot you get is inversely proportional to how much you actually care where you park.

So, if you truly don’t care (like me) how close you can park to the store entrance, you will find a close one. If you are really concerned with it, you will end up with a spot at the farthest end of the lot.

I can tie a knot in a cherry stem using only my tongue. :smiley:

I can whistle very loudly - comes in handy for concerts, games and the occasional ogling of random men on the street.

I can read upside down (the book, not me).

My belly button manufactures its own lint!

Cunnilingus.

I can toss things (peanuts, m&ms, cheetos, etc…) high in the air and catch them in my mouth.

I do a dead-on impersonation of Krusty the Klown.

I can suck my neck in. Meaning that without using my hands, I can make the area between my collarbones at the base of my neck go in about 2 or 3 inches, making a pit about 2 inches in diameter, and 2-3 inches deep right there in the hollow of my throat.

I can flip a cigarette in my mouth. I’m better when I’m drunk. It’s very impressive, trust me.

Mmmm, cigarette. I think I’ll go have one right now. . .

I can balance up to seven eating utensils on each hand.

Ingesting spoiled dairy products gives me little or no stomach problems.

I can whistle two notes at the same time.

I can scream at incredible volumes.

TaxGuy: I can do that too. Just takes a little practice.

I have great skill in playing a cleric in AD&D.

im trouble, we must be related. I also can do the cherry stem trick and read upside down

I also have the ability to guess which episode of the Brady Bunch it is in only 6 seconds (not counting the theme of course)

RotorHead my sister has that ability. We call her Costanza because of it. I like to make her drive if we’re going anywhere.

I can build a fire. Faster than any boy scout, and out of materials at hand. No accelerant. One match, whoosh: combustion. In fireplace, fire pit, wood stove, barbeque, or any other appropriate fire venue. And I am a girl.

I can toss objects (mostly it’s just my keys) behind my back and over my shoulders and catch them in front of me. I can do this with either hand over either shoulder. I can also catch them with either hand.

I usually hit myself in stride too.
