If $50 would get you a whole new skill....

I took an advanced English class in high school that targeted speed reading, study skills and reading comprehension. The secret to speed reading is ignoring the superfluous words in a sentence.

I already speed read; I've been doing it for the past 40+ years. But I want to super-speed read, with the only limit being how fast I can physically turn the pages.

Sleep with the book under your pillow. You'll awaken with all the information from the book. wouldn't that be perfect?

I would go with ambidextrous self gratification.

 

[Centipede]

I wouldn't be comfortable in a place that only charged that much to learn a full-blown skill, but I think maybe singing? Or having every language downloaded into my brain - that one would be great, actually.

...Can't everyone do that already?

-Wait wait wait, define 'ambidextrous self gratification' first. Not sure if I want to encourage my cognitive facilities to wander off an create some fresh hell of possibility.

Invisibility, spy on the hot guys who are in the nude.

Invisibility isn't a skill. Sneaking and hiding in the shadows/corners of a room is... But for what you want.... there are things called spy-cams. They aren't legal, and I wouldn't recommend them, but a basic one would cost you less than $50.

A lot guys seem to have one hand that can bring them to orgasm, I use both, but it takes lefty to bring it on home.

Sort of a bi-gratification????

 

[Latimer]

Fluency in another language.

 

[Rickrock]

Increase my memory. Remember everything and call it to mind instantly when appropriate.

Good one

Every time I try to write something I realize that I really am a poor speller and need help with spelling, but I would hate to waste this $50 on spelling alone.

Invisibility, spy on the hot guys who are in the nude.

That's not a skill, except in a fantasy world.

 

[Kulindahr]

Maybe self-lubricating arsehole.

Who teaches that?

 

[Kulindahr]

Is good at life a skill?

I think that's a whole shipload of skills!

 

[Kulindahr]

I want to choose brief future precognition in the 15 minute range. Then I can at least spot where I'm going wrong socially instead of five minutes after its happened. I've made up to 'Realized During' maybe a third of the time, but 'during' often doesn't help.

If that's a real skill, please tell me where they teach it!

 

[Kulindahr]

I'd like to learn calligraphy, yeah i know i've spelt that wrong.

It's spelled like this:

 

[Kulindahr]

Reading and speaking a second language.

Right now I might settle for getting back the ones I used to know!

That's a great way to get poor grades in college courses..... Serious textbooks don't have superfluous words!
