Remember your arthritis... can't go around stranglin' folks like you used to.....

Don’t sell him short, his walker has a speedometer.

You guys must really be bored. What’s next, “what’s the best finger to pick yours nose with?

[systemnt]

Different finger for different depths.

I'm old and I don't walk like that. I need my arms in front so I can break the fall quicker.....

Amen! I also need a new helmet.

My wife just told me women do it to strengthen their arms??????

Maybe waiting to make a cup of cheese.

I've noticed over the years a lot of guys and especially older gentleman walk with their arms behind their back. Why do some folks do this? I like hands free and arms moving while i walk or meander.

Its a physical centering position for mental security. Also its actually an exercise...increases mobility of upperbody limbs and stretches the torso. I dont notice it much in white, black, brown Americans but I notice its very common in Asian folk...Indians and Chinese, Japanese especially.

Arms folded in front physically describes someone is in their secure place...not very open...possibly insecure with a situation. Physically closed.

All the great thinkers walked with their hands behind their back when thinking about a problem. Ask me how I know. LOL

[Paycheck]

I do it to check and see if I got an a** left after its been chewed on.
