Have you ever tried balancing brooms and chairs on your finger tips or palms?

I’ve tried with a broom a few times. Could keep it upright for thirty seconds or so. Then I got told to quit goofing around.

When I was much younger I would walk around with my brother balanced on top my head. My mom could never figure out why he was so bruised up.

I used to do that with pool sticks all the time. I’d balance it on one finger and then transfer it to another finger, going all the way down to my pinkie. I was oddly prodigious at it—all of my other friends couldn’t even keep the stick balanced for more than 20 seconds.

I can balance a broom, yard stick, umbrella, indefinitely. I can do it while walking. I once walked about half a mile to a bus stop while balancing a closed umbrella.

I can do a balanced broom but I think most chairs would take practice, for me.

I just tried a kitchen chair and had to stop after about 20–30 seconds. It got too heavy.

@LuckyGuy: Try an aluminum chair or a plastic lawn chair, if you have one.

They are out in the barn and it’s 11F with 30 mph winds and a foot of snow. I am not out there . :-)
Except to snow blow. Ugh!

I can’t even balance my
#!?*%#<?! budget!

Yes, I’m pretty good with brooms. I haven’t tried chairs.

Oh God. If anyone wants a good high school laugh, pretend the original question was “Which household items have you had sex with?” and re-read the responses.

When I was a kid, I used to do it with brooms, but I’ve never tried it with a chair. I’d probably smack myself in the head with a chair.
