Do you believe ESP?

Whole-heartedly believe. Of course, it helps if it occurs/occured semi-regularly for you, and is accurate a good 95% of the time (and only not accurate when you realize you're sooth-saying and consciously make changes to avoid a certain predicted outcome). This includes full conversations, events, etc.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

People have been talking about ESP in one form or another since the dawn of known human history...

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I mean, can you name any other abilities that are known to exist but be incredibly rare? When I say that, I mean specific things most people are totally incapable of; not innate proficiency in abilities that most people possess like music or mathematics.

I don't know that many people who are able to dislocate every joint in their body and fit themselves inside a suitcase, then fit themselves back together again. Nor am I able to perform this feat myself or could I with practice. Therefore, this is an ability that some people have and some do not.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Dunno about you, but it's something I'm physically unable to do...unless I want to break my bones.

Can you do it?

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Okay then. Have someone take your photo while doing it, then post it.

I was speaking idiomatically.
