Bag Hercules

Do you have the power of a whole hand in your finger?

Carrier bags are weird, wonderful and useful things. They are also a test of strength. When you go shopping and you come back carrying 3 bags, that's sort of the normal amount. 4 bags and you're pushing it. 5? 5 and the handles will be killing your fingers.

And that's really the test of carrier bags: the handles dig into your fingers like some crazy torture device supermarkets dreamed up to punish you for trying to live. Bag for life? No one has those.

But when you carry carrier bags how do you carry them? Most people I know carry them with all their fingers but these people are foolish and, most probably, weak.

I carry them with two fingers and when those two fingers get sliced up I alternate to another two fingers, eventually swapping hands to whichever group of bags weighs the least. Because I'm lazy I equate it with weight lifting, only you're lifting weights with your fingers because you're just that strong.

I also have excellent bag control, being able to twirl bags in and out of obstacles like a modern day ninja probably would if he went shopping and people kept getting in his way but he wasn't allowed to kill them.

So do you have excellent bag control, or is it just me?
