Over the years, I have met a number of people with severe deformaties in
their upper arms who do a lot of things we would do with our hands with

Of the others, the most interesting occupation is delivery truck driver.
He delivers textbooks to the local schools.
All of them would have to answer "Other/None of the Above" to the poll
