While getting out of bed this morning, I propped myself up with my right arm and apparently leaned too sharply on my hand & wrist. I now have a painful sprain that is making any primate opposable-thumb tool usage very, very painful.

Damn opposable thumbs.

He can use the other hand and it'll feel like somebody else for a change.

Mebbe. I can't use my left hand for that a-tall.

When I broke my left elbow, the thing I was most grateful for was that it wasn't my right, otherwise I would have been really hard up.

Though I'm told some people are ambidextrous this way....

Clearly you need a new set of friends because we're all thinking the same thing. :-)

I can confirm that indeed, some people are ambidextrous that way. I'm one of them (and typically I'm righthanded except I'm lefthanded for that).

but the key question (from yet another friend whose first thought was of self-abuse) is:

was it your jackoff hand that got ysprainen?

salacious enquiring minds need to know

I thought of the selfsame cartoon. And I also thought, well, yeah, opposable thumbs are probably responsible for most of humanity's ills.

does that mean that [livejournal.com profile] bjarvis, at present without opposable thumb, can be The Saviour Of Humanity From All That Ails It?

that should keep him busy and away from the self-abuse

[I understand that pandas have not one but two opposable digits per front paw. so how come humans dominate and pandas just sit around munching bamboo and looking cute? one of life's puzzlements]

Who's happier in general: Humans or pandas?

that's another of life's puzzlements.

No, actually my first thought was, "You just couldn't take our word for it that that position was impossible?"

I'll be over as soon as I can, to snack on bamboo and, er, use my opposeable thumbs on you

I remember oh-so long ago when this blog was "g" rated... *sigh*

After Cleveland I don't think I'll ever consider you "g" rated (based on my OBSERVATIONS of what went on :-) ).

Hang on: you were G-rated once?
