Try this one...

Have fun with this one!!!!



Just try this. It is from an orthopedic surgeon...........



This will boggle your mind and you will keep trying over and over again to see if you can outsmart your foot, but you can't. It's preprogrammed in your brain!



1. WITHOUT anyone watching you (they will think you are GOOFY) and while sitting where you are at your desk in front of your computer, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles.



2. Now, while doing this, draw the number "6" in the air with your right hand.

Your foot will change direction.

I told you so!!! And there's nothing you can do about it!

You and I both know how stupid it is, but before the day is done you are going to try it again, if you've not already done so.

That is weird.

Here's another one:

Place one of your hands on a table and spread your fingers. Tuck your middle finger under. Lift your other fingers in this order: thumb, pinky, pointer, and finally your ring finger...

If you start from the inside of the 6 your foot will keep going clockwise. It is only if you start at the top that it will switch directions. I had to figure out how to be different!

It still looks just as silly to those who don't know what you are up to.

I work for an orthopedic surgeon. When I see him Friday during clinic I will ask him WHY????? If I get an answer I will let you know. But knowing him he will call me senile(sp?) again. He thinks I am crazy but he loves working for me!!
