I'm an expertI spent four years of my life acquiring a PhD. This makes me an expert in the use of transparency in computer interfaces. It's not a hugely useful or interesting expertise, but it's all mine. I'm pretty hot at sitting on the sofa, too.
What are you lot experts in?

I am expert atfucking with my kids' heads.
Example: my oldest had to have an ingrown toenail removed. We went in to the doctor's, and I stayed by his side through it all. The doctor's office we use is a teaching one- that is, we get medical students in there, working alongside the doctor.
So here's the doctor stabbing away with the anaesthetic and explaining to the student how to do "digital blocking"- that is, how to numb the entire toe. He then lectures as he does the surgery, then he and the student leave and let the nurse bandage my son.
My son asks the nurse what "digital blocking" is, and she explains. I follow this up by saying, "Well actually, the doctor brought in a laptop while you weren't looking and hooked your toe to the USB port and downloaded a Carpenters MP3 file into it. If you bring your foot close to your ear you should be able to hear Karen singing "Laaaaaa, close to you..."
The nurse promptly blue-screened, and my son looked annoyed.
