Unusual talents
B3tans! Can you hum with your tongue? (Your Ginger Fuhrer can and he once demonstrated this to a producer on Blockbusters on the hope of getting on TV) Maybe you can bend your thumb in a really horrid way that makes it look broken. (Your Ginger Fuhrer's other special talent) What can you do? Extra points if you fancy demonstrating this with the odd pic or youtube vid.

I am one of the few people in the country
who can train and drive a team of oxen. They are not stupid as popular sayings suggest but learn voice commands much quicker than dogs, and after a few times of re-tracing a route you don't have to tell them where to go. It's true that they can be very stubborn though.
I'm quite proud of it, especially since I'm a girl.

Do they really have the name 'Left' or 'Right'
depending on which position they will take in harness?

No
they have personal names which they answer to, and although some of them have preferred sides they can go either left or right in the yoke.

So your special talent
involves spending the day staring up the arses of creatures whose most interesting feature is that they form plurals in an archaic way.

Irregular pluralses
Sheep - sheep
fish - fish
goose - geese
mouse - mice
woman - women
louse - lice
Pick your preferred species (singular, not plural) to stare up the arse of. I know which I'd prefer.

I was a muleskinner in my youth, and recently had my first experience with oxen. Is it still customary to put the ring in their nose?

Naa, a nose piercing means you're gay these days
and you get laughed at by all the other oxen.

no
But if they do an emergency stop you might get your nose in their ring.
