I tried it and I did it (57) but I think there are way too many variables to be called a test. The second guy nailed it, no shows or crew socks. lol. Boots or court shoes? Too many variables. Hell even socks can be easy or hard to put on.

To be a test it needs to be able to be consistently applied by everyone. No way is this happening here.

I used to do the sitting Indian style and standing up test. The "saying" was that if you could do that you would live at least 5 more years, notwithstanding getting hit by a bus. I struggle to do the test now but everyone can at least try it without variability playing a part.

I am almost 69, and have no trouble balancing my cigar on the ashtray while I drink my bourbon! ; Smile

Hmmm, obviously being young you don’t have to worry about falling and breaking a life ending hip, or finding something to grab onto in order to get off the floor. I know my limitations and I don’t need to practice risk behaviors. Big Grin
