I can't sit cross legged properly. Used to be able to when I was little.
Not sure why, I've always been fit and active, they just won't go past a certain point when I try to sit like that.

ETA: By they, I mean my knees. Instead of pushing down fairly flat to the floor, my legs end up pointing up about 45degrees, gets painful if I try to push my them further down.

I can't wolfwhistle.

It makes me feel like I am not a proper man. I am trying to come to terms with that inability...

So you are telling the internet today you as a adult human being have spent the day stting yourself?

Should that not be in the embarassing thread?

I have never been able to click my fingers.

BUT and I presume the two points are related. I can bend all my fingers backwards to about 50 degrees (My little fingers slightly more).

I can also dislocate some of my fingers and twist them round and release and they pop back into place.

Makes some people I know a bit sick.

I can't whistle properly - it always sounds like a high pitched rasp or like the wind blowing through trees without the volume.

Pretty shocking tbh

Same here. Even after years of Yoga* and Kickboxing stretches.

  • Does that get me banned from PH as a lentil knitting, tree hugging Prius lover ?

I am fairly sure I can stop a speeding bullet just like Superman

However I am also fairly sure that I cannot escape a certain amount of damage being done in the process.

Can do the lotus position and walk round on my knees. Used to be able to get my feet behind my head, struggle a bit now. Can turn my tongue right over both ways. Can't wolf whistle though.
