Many people have favorite anecdotes or antics that they trot out at parties or in social settings - especially bars. They typically involve feats of strength, dexterity, or mastery or the arcane or trivial.
One of my favorites involved twiddling my thumbs. I would say, “Most people know how to twiddle their thumbs forwardly” (demonstrate with a quick clockwise twiddle), “or backwardly” (demonstrate with a quick counter-clockwise twiddle), “but can you twiddle in opposite directions simultaneously?!”, and I would demonstrate by alternating my left and right thumbs in either direction.
It was no great feat - just a rote memory thing that I taught myself - but it seldom failed to intrigue those who saw it. Filed under “stuff that humans do to amuse each other” LoL
Showoff;)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can’t do it ...... LOL!!
