This gave me a chuckle as I considered whether I could even drive with my knees! I have been known to yank a cord from the wall from a distance, so I am not a complete goody two-shoes! Fun first read to start my day, thanks, Polly.

I often consider my teeth my third hand. My dentist concedes the same for himself.

Just a bit of nonsense for the crazy world. Sunday I have a piece on attending the No Kings rally where I live that's a bit more relevant. And actually as it happens my knee-driving ability is a little impaired at the moment because I strained it just STRETCHING at fitness class Monday morning. I wish at least that I could have injured it doing something athletic like a box jump so I could brag but, no, just stretching did it.

I never drove with my knees. However, I do jaywalk (the great New York City pastime), and I am allergic to carrying an umbrella. I have also been known to open bottles and cartons of half-and-half with my teeth, although usually as a last resort.

And oh yes -- I once tried to clean out an air conditioner with a metal table knife without first unplugging the machine. The resulting shock taught me a lesson.

Unscrewing the cap with your teeth is why Mother Nature gave you teeth in the first place. If someone says they have never yanked the cord from across the room, they are not a truthful speaker.
