Yes, and among people born in the US is varies a lot by race and ethnic identity.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
No, I mean driving a manual transmission car--is that rarer than not being circumcised? They are both minority things--is one more markedly so.
It is really weird that this is weird.
And the ethnic variance you point out, flea, is what makes the "guys I know" set even harder to define. But if I go with 80-90%, that should be as accurate as counts.
And the driving stats seem to be between 1/4 and 1/3, so driving stick does seem more common that not having a piece of your penis cut off.

If Tennessee has a state song, I never learned it.
I bet you did, although possibly not as the state's song. It's the Tennessee Waltz.
I was waltzing with my darling to the Tennessee Waltz
When an old friend I happened to see
Introduced her to my loved one and while they were waltzing
My friend stole my sweetheart from me

Because books.

I guess when you're talking penises, I think the whole ... thing is about penises somehow. I didn't really see a connection between driving and circumcision.
That said, I know a lot of people, male and female, who drive stick.

a little bit. yes.
it seems an odd thing to be wondering about, even for you. two things having nothing to do with each other.
It seems I have become my father in that all I want to do today is watch the weather channel. And it has moved from hurricane watch to wanting to transpose rainfall info from the storm over the drought map.

ita, did you mean know how to drive stick, or regularly drive a stick shift as their primary vehicle? Because IMO most people (75-80%?) over 30 know how to drive stick, but far fewer own a stick shift car.
Charleston SC has people kayaking in the Central Market right now. Facebook told me so.

The connection is they're not the majority, and they are things that are extra minority in the US, as opposed to other markets.

See above.

Really? I'd have thought it was closer to 50%, but that might be because I've forgotten how twice by now. Forgetting might be my weird thing, though. It isn't like riding a bike for me. If I don't spend more than a month or two doing it, and have gaps of over five or ten years, the next time I still have to practice before I'd be jumping on and off the highway, never mind heavy traffic and hills.
