Your wonderfully useless talents...

Mine you ask?

Well, it's a neat little party trick.

I can play every song off of Prince's Purple Rain album on an acoustic guitar.

People can't get enough of it when they're completely sloshed for some reason.

I can drive and sign (ASL) the lyrics to Keane's "Everybody's changing" at the same time.

I have that same talent.

I'm also very good at making things up. They go hand in hand.

I can play songs on my cheeks. I look like a fool and don't do this much in front of people but it's hilarious to watch.

I have the uncanny ability to attract loser guys. I dunno, there's just something about me.

Are they losers, or are they just such winners that they blow your mind?

I went to a number of elementary schools and high schools as I had a father who became bored in his job and dragged us all of to the next one. In my experience there is always a trick or two that all the boys at a school know. I learned some of them...

I can whistle with all sorts of combinations of fingers in my mouth, some of them loud enough to make your ears ring for a few minutes.

I can do that theme song from The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly film by blowing across cupped hands.

I can rotate my tongue 180 degrees in each direction along its long axis.

All mostly useless as an adult, but not bad to have as the new boy at school.

I have many talents that are seen as useless but just aren't being utilized. (Like my photographic memory that allows me to memorize every detail of electronics. If only I was interested in medicine, I could apply it to that for example.)

Possibly the only talent i have is speed reading. I actually had people sit and watch me read them quiz me to make sure I wasn't cheating. I was better at it in high school though.
