What is your most useless talent?

Back in the days before Bank One became Chase, I visited a branch. Obviously, I had to wait in line … boring. I yawned, and out from under my tongue came a long, thin, unintentional stream of fluid consisting of 99.5% water with 0.5% dissolved solutes. This is a gleek. Not unlike sneezes, sometimes yawns come in bunches. Another yawn—another gleek. That’s the story I’m telling of that day, anyway. Truth be told I can gleek with the best of ‘em—on demand—so that 2nd one may have been intentional. Rest assured, the following few definitely were. Either way, the bank manager strolled over to me and passive-aggressively inquired, “You spit on your mother’s floor, too?” I told him it wasn’t spit, but nearly pure water straight from my submadibular duct. He was not impressed. But maybe he would be if I set a Guinness World Record for gleeking. The real question is whether to concentrate on breaking the record for distance, or for number of gleeks in 60 seconds. With a little practice—and plenty of hydration—maybe I can achieve both! And yes, I still bank with Chase.
