Saw this picture on the innertubes. Perhaps the general population would have trouble doing the Mr. Spock finger spread, but I'm guessing guitar and bass players can assume this finger positioning effortlessly. I'm basing this on my own guitar/bass twiddling fingers ......... am I right about the rest of y'all doing "the spread" naturally? i.postimg.cc/59zkZs6C/spock.jpg |

Right hand easily. Left hand clumsily, poor spread and alignment. I'm left handed, btw.

Yeah, I can "spread-eagle" my bass hands.

Likewise, I can only do the Elvis sneer on the right side of my nose. Absolute failure on the left.

I can do both simultaneously, but only the right individually. Its almost as if trying the left side alone is like trying to move an appendage that doesn't exist. |

Ditto easily both hands.

The Spock thing, so easily with both hands that I have trouble understanding how other people can’t do it. Hey, I just tried the Elvis sneer .... left side only. Can't make the right side cooperate. Possible contributing factors: I'm right handed, shave while looking into a mirror and always put on my left sock first. |

Typical innerwebz drivel. Just like all those clikbait ads that show gigantic bewbies, or "You Might Be a Genius if..." Can you make a Vulcan sign? Whoop-dee-doo! Can you do something truly meaningful for your community? Oh...sorry. That takes work. Okey dokey, off my soapbox  |

My wife can't do the Vulcan thing with her dominant hand (like me), but can sneer like Elvis on both sides of her nose.
Fascinating Jim.

I taught myself to do the sign with both hands when I was young. You know… in case I would need it later.

Someone told me that it's easier with the non-dominant hand, which seems odd but is true in my case. Can't do it with my dominant (left) hand.

I can arch both eyebrows simultaneously, or the left one by itself, Belushi-style. I can't do the right one by itself.

I can do all that stuff and can wink either eye independently. I've met people who can only wink one or the other, or both simultaneously (blink).

Okey dokey, off my soapbox  You forgot "top gut doctor begs you to throw out this vegetable!", or "eat this to empty your bowels every morning"
I can do the vulcan sign just fine. I remember trying it as a kid (before I could play guitar) and it taking a couple tries but not being difficult. It is not a problem now.

Either or both. Sneer lefty and left eyebrows as well. And I can do the Elvis "Thank ya, thank ya very much" with both eyes closed.

Okey dokey, off my soapbox Why, I'll have you know that I just spent 30 years working at the County Jail, and I personally helped in keeping a crazed, psychopathic lunatic off of the streets. How, you ask? By taking our only car to work and forcing my wife to stay at home!  |

Meaningful? I was a program administrator at an assisted living facility for developmentally disabled adults. These were people who could not do the Vulcan finger, and many other things. And ya know it was very satisfying except for paydays.
