Another appointment today. Yes, another. No, you don't get to know where.

Can you touch your toes?

First: Yes: 31%
Second: Almost / I used to be able to: 6%

Uncreativity Penalty: -20 for any answer involving said toes not being connected to one's body. -10 for any form of cheating, including bending your knees or touching them with something else.

Points

* 'Toes. I remember toes from the Before Time, when people had feet such as no two people have today. Toes... (sigh). Did we ever deserve toes, or were they a passing gift bestoed on us for too brief a span?': I had a teacher when I was much younger who informed us that someday humans would evolve to a point where we would no longer have little toes. I spent ages freaking out thinking one morning I'd wake up and my little toes would've fallen off in my sleep. Oh, yeah, -10 for pun.

* 'Touch? I can put my palms on the floor bend my elbows and touch my head to my knees. Its a "talent".': +15 for talent. And no, I have no idea who this person is, so you guys can't have his/her phone number.

* 'Yes and drink my soda through a swirly straw at the same time.': +5, love swirly straws.

* 'If I bend my knees around enough and lie down, I can even touch one of my outer toes with my mouth; it's a bit of a strain though.': +5 for talent, again. Incidentally, this may well be the reason we won't have little toes in the future.

Correct Answer: 'I will not touch my toes. I will not touch my nose. I will not be touching any of those. I will not touch the cat. I will not touch the hat. I will not be touching any of that.'

I like this week's poll. If you have been, ROCK ON!
