Do you have any uncommon skills or talents that have little practical use?

    My ability to creatively and quickly come up with "What if . . . ?" worries based upon nothing.

    Friends and I have joked that I could come up with some good fiction movie and book plots, ha.

    If you can imagine all the what if scenarios, then you can be prepared for them. I'd say that's a practical use.

      Nope. All of my skills are in very high demand and through years (and many nights) of progressive success have been honed to a fine level of highly pragmatic use. (Sorry to disappoint the gist of the question.)

    Practical or otherwise, they're not uncommon, which was the main point of the question.

     If for just once in your life instead of keeping me out, you’d let me in to spend a few nights with you, you’d learn firsthand just how uncommonly good my abilities are. Grrrrrrr.

      Gee, you don’t mind that so many other women are being scheduled and taking advantage of these opportunities with me? You’re missing out, you know.

    I used to toot a fairly mean piccolo. It was great for marching and pep bands in college.

    I can travel at twice the speed of sound and survive under five times the Earth's gravitational force.  Seriously... I've done both.

    Sure.  I once copiloted a fighter jet up to about 68,000 ft... the pilot did all manner of nasty things to me up there!

      It only counts if you can also wiggle my ears.

    I can tell a lot about the animal I am hunting by poking it's feces with a stick. It is a pretty uncommon talent but I don't hunt anymore so it has little practical use for me these days. Cheers!

    Its still useful if you find poop on your porch to know whether its a bear or a dog that left it's calling card.

    It would be but I wouldn't poke it with a stick so I could track the animal down. Once a neighbour accused my dog of pooping in his yard so I told him I was a hunter and  I could figure out what animal did the poop by examining the scat. He said ummmmmm OK and we went over to his yard. After pretending to study the poop for awhile I said - nope that's not Blue Healer poop and he said how can you tell and I said because there is no corn in it. Cheers and happy weekend!

    Four infractions:
    1. (Its It’s still useful)
    2. (its it’s a bear)
    3. (It’s its calling card)
    4. (Blatant intentional baiting of a sworn officer.)
