When you use your computer, what do you do with your other hand?

[Deja Q]

You know, the one that isn't controlling the mouse?

Do you:

A) Keep the hand on the keyboard

B) Keep the hand near or on your "good bits"

C) Use the hand to scratch your head or other areas

D) Keep it by the power button in case a hacker breaks into your system when online

E) None of the above/other

[Guaranteed]

1. E- My other hand is my beer hand. n/t

2. Usually the keyboard

but sometimes I'm looking stuff up in the Almanac of American Politics.

3. I usually rest my chin in it

Unless I'm typing.

4. I stick it down my pants

just to piss off the right-wing religous zealots (if they knew)

[Droopy]

5. Depending on which chair I'm sitting

If I'm sitting in the comfy swivle, lean-back chair at home I keep it near my private parts. Don't ask me why, it just winds up migrating to that area. Here at school the chair is different it doesn't lean back or swivle and I tend to keep my hand on my leg.

6. I'm a lefty, it does the important stuff

They finally invented something for my right hand to do---the mouse. But everything else is on the left---writing paper, coffee, phones, etc.

7. Something that got me carpal tunnel

Earlier this year, I had a bad flair up of carpal tunnel in my left arm, which is not my dominate arm. I still cannot figure it out. I must be doing some weird fidgety moves with it while I'm on the computer that caused it.

8. boy, are you on a roll today

[Deja Q]

12. Let's just say that I need a life!

:D

9. I depends on where I am

At work, I'm usually eating and/or turning the pages of a paperback novel while waiting for a page to down-load (my computer is a museum piece that takes f-o-r-e-v-e-r to open an E-mail, or access a Web-site).

At home, both hands are poised over the keyboard, ready to pounce (Ahah! The Phantom Liberal strikes again! Also known to my elected officials as "Oh no! The ditz in Gainesville with the computer has sent us yet ANOTHER E-Mail!").

10. "E"

Usually holding a cigarette.

[SingSong]

11. I hold my collection of toads noses until

they either say uncle, or sneeze. They usually sneeze.

[Deja Q]

13. What does saying "uncle" suggest?

I've heard the phrase "Say uncle!" before but never understood it.

It's not a sexual thing, is it? Because sex has no place for the Lounge! :D
