When We Were Armless

Have you ever imagined what it would be like if your arms fell off while you were playing basketball? I haven't...until now.

It'd probably suck a lot. You couldn't dribble, shoot or touch the ball. And if you went out for a burger later, wouldn't be able to pick up the burger and bring it to your mouth, nor could you pull out your wallet to pay for it. And when you went back to your apartment, you wouldn't be able to turn your key in the door, but even if you could, you wouldn't be able to turn the knob to open the door.

So I decided to make a list of things that armless people can do that people with arms cannot do. Here it is.

-Nothing.

Seriously, if our arms fell off in the middle of a basketball game, we'd be so screwed. We should probably go ahead and surrender to the Japanese now. At least then we'll still have our dignity, even if we don't have arms.

But how would the Japanese know we were surrendering if we didn't have arms? I don't know how to say "I surrender" in Japanese, only in French.
