UNBALANCED

I have just been called on, what turns out to be, my bullshit about balance.

See 011008 below.

I knew it was too good to be true.

I said that I could pass the balance test for over 60 seconds which is true if I ignore the instructions and keep my eyes open.

But if I shut my eyes, I am more like 5 seconds like all the other 70-79 year olds.

I suppose willful denial, as usual, closed my eyes to the part about closing my eyes.

Now, I am going to take issue with the test.

What is the point of a test that makes unrealistic consideration of the situation?

You are not allowed to use your arms and you must keep your eyes closed.

I would like a test that would show how long I can stay balanced on two feet, arms free to fly in any direction, eyes open and, preferably, the shoulder of a nice young gentleman to lean on if I get a bit woozy.

It is a real bummer to find out that one is merely normal.

Thanks to Jim for reading and responding.

The rest of you pass the con-ability test.
