Actually, I can't throw and my bear-bagging abilities are atrocious (enough 
so that a northbounder I met in New Hampshire said I must be just posing as 
a thru-hiker!).  I was going to make it trail related by telling the story 
of the woman I met just past Monson in Maine who was slightly on the short 
side and told us all sorts of horror stories of upcoming mountains and rock 
climbing and such, but finished every story by telling me, "But you should 
be okay, you're tall!"  Like that would make the highest mountain into a 
tiny hill.  It only got really funny after she'd said it five or six times.

Trail related enough?  :)
