Peeling a banana. Opening from the stem is totally not the way to do it:

Canada is slowly degrading -- thanks to the flock of mindless sheep.

Catching! I used to watch the faces of people who were about to throw things at me- whether it was in a "oh, here's my keys, catch" situation or in a sports context I'd look at their face, then see the object maybe at the top of its arc, then sort of squint nervously as it (hopefully) landed in my hands, with only estimation and a little peripheral vision to help me find it. Um, no. I recently learned that I should ignore the thrower's face, and instead watch the ball itself, all the way along its path from the thrower's hand to mine. It sounds simple; just "keep your eye on the ball". But I consistently messed it up until I actually forced myself to watch that thing and track its *whole entire path* from hand to hand. Now I play catch like a champ.

My sister and I used to think "handjob" was another word for "manicure." Our parents are immigrants who don't speak much English, so they never corrected us. Oh, we were so innocent back then...
