Do you even have a fun fact, bro?
Over the years, I’ve come to understand that stating “I’m left-handed” is not actually considered a “fun fact.” This is judging by the silent responses I’ve received when prompted to introduce myself and give a “fun fact.” Apparently, it’s just a fact. However, I do think I would receive better responses if there were more lefties in the crowd. Statistically speaking, we only make up ~10% of the population (no, I did not know this off the top of my head – I Googled it to impress you). What kind of righty is going to, actually, be enthralled by nature’s anomaly of left-handedness? #rightprivilege
Anyways, I have to wonder, are most people just sitting on a trove of “fun facts,” like Smaug sitting on his pile of gold? Additionally, why do I have to impress adult strangers/co-workers with a “fun fact?” At least when I’ve been made to do team-building exercises (ie, the human knot – literally the most asinine activity, invented by an obviously sadistic individual), I just had to hold sweaty hands and make weird eye contact with strangers. In hindsight, maybe the weird eye contact was voluntary, on my part. I think, perhaps, a more fitting name for “the human knot” would be “the voluntary human centipede.” Haha – I’m totally joking but, I mean, the human knot is actually the worst.
