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
their feet. One of them was a technical writer.

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
question.
