Motley genetic 'gifts'
I have supersensitive ears, which is great for listening to classical music and CDs and for eavesdropping on people, but crap for rock concerts and the like. I even have to wear earplugs to go to the cinema.

Like a number of other people on here, I can wiggle my ears, independently of each other, and can belch on command.

I can suck in my abs and pulse my diaphragm so as to make my stomach do a kind of 'Mexican wave' - the original 'rippling abs'.

I appear to emit subconscious waves of calm that are useful for pacifying strange cats and other people's babies.

That's all I can think of right now.

Yeti's genetic 'gifts', at age 40
You have ears which are capable of hearing a conversation in a pub, but only if you cup your hands around them because damn it's noisy in here, all this background racket! Never used to be like this I'm sure. What happened to a quiet pint anyway? Why's everything got to have a bloody soundtrack these days and surely that lot over there are far too young to be in here. Why can't they piss off down the bus shelter and leave us in peace. Must have a word with the landlord.

You can belch - in fact, louder, longer and smellier than ever, but you've long given up any pretence that it's under any form of control.

You can still suck in your abs and pulse your diaphragm but now it's called the Truffle Shuffle. Ear-wiggling skills are your go-to opener whenever dealing with children, which leads us to...

Those waves of calm seem to be trapped in some kind of Faraday cage because they're basically entirely inwardly focused now. Any time you're in the presence of children or cats you fall asleep.

Enjoy them now!
