    You never know when your talent might become useful. For years it seemed being able to write perfect grammatical English was a useless talent, no one gave a fuck, until I learned how many scientists can't.

    I’m pretty good at catching things that I have accidentally bobbled.

    I can also do some voices fairly well.

    I play the NES with the controller upside down. Picked up the controller that way when I was 2 and never looked back.

    First, let me say, impressive.

    Second, there have been many things that I was "sure" that I could still do that with age, my body has revealed to me the reality is different. In this instance, finding out that your body can no longer pull off what your mind is sure of would seem to be likely to result in an extremely painful dose of reality. I'd recommend many pillows between you and the ground if you go for it again.

    I have a great talent for bumping into things, knocking things, over, and breaking things.

    My artistic cousin jokes about how he started doing mosaic because he breaks everything.

    I’m really good at nba2k video game even though I hardly play it. That’s pretty useless.

    It was way more fun and useful when I was a kid, but I can burp on command.

    More recently, sometimes I can pick the house the people will choose on House Hunters.

    One person's talent is another person's narcolepsy.
