What's your extremely minor talent?

For example: I can pour honey from a squeeze bottle without getting the cap dirty. My current bottle of honey is half empty, but the cap looks like it has never been used.

It doesn’t come up often anymore, but I’m a madman at trashball/paper toss.

I blame my carny roots.

I can usually convert meters to feet in my head, by rounding up to a factor of 3.3,

I have no trouble initiating conversations with celebrities, although I did send Jay Leno and Oozie Oozbourne running for the exits. ;-p

Amongst my friends, I am known as the Cat Whisperer. Even cats that hiss and bite other people, tend to like me.

@Kardamom That’s at the top of my skill list, not the bottom.
@kritiper That also seems like a pretty important skill!

@Zaku It was through what I believe to be a mistake made by my mother, then experimented with to find out just what she did, so, no skill required. Just trial and error. No other pumpkin pie recipe I have found replicates my discovery!

I can transfer the leftover half-pan of lasagne to a smaller baking dish all in one piece, in one move, without losing any. I do this before putting it in the refrigerator.

I can wiggle my little toes independently of the other toes.

I can make a clicking noise with my tongue that ranges from the sound of a horse walking, to trotting, to galloping.

I can make the Vulcan sign with my hands easily.

@flameboi I can reference Monty Python in any situation!

^ I wave my private parts at your aunties, and your mother smells of elderberry. Ni! Ni! Ni! Bring me a shrubbery! But father, I don’t want any land. She turned me into a newt. Whaaaaaaaat is your quest? He’s not the messiah, he’s a very naughty boy! I’m a lumberjack and I’m OK. Is that a penguin on the television? Run away!
