At the doctor's office for my annual, she asked how close I could come to touching my toes. I reached down, knees locked, and put my hands flat on the floor!
"My goodness, you're supple!" my MD exclaimed.
True story and not a bad trick for an overweight 72-year-old. Actually I think it has a lot to do with the length of the arms in proportion to the body frame. Many short-armed tall people cannot touch their toes at all.
OK, so my friends have some weird party tricks!
The moral of the story being the use of supple is a personal preference, I think, or perhaps it is used differently in formal speaking than in casual conversation?
wow
