What about an H? S? X? Y? Z? You might be right, but I can't think of how to do any of those letters!

One more foolish attempt at proving that Ctrl-Alt-Delete thing wrong: You can hit Delete and the left Ctrl and Alt with your right arm if you press Delete with your elbow and Ctrl and Alt with your middle finger and ring finger. I say those two fingers because those were the easiest to reach with the way I positioned my elbow. And yes, I did actually try this before remembering that Ctrl and Alt were also on the right side. Now I feel like an idiot, but that's okay.

So anyway, onto my two...

You can't lift a comic box with one hand, but you can play golf. (Although it'd be just a bit more difficult.)

you could use a straw, or change channels with your toes.

you can't drive a manual can SAFELY and fuel efficiently with one arm.
(esp. if you only have a right arm and you drive on the left like us in the uk)

you can play a trumpet with one arm.

correction : You cant play jazz trumpet with one arm, the techniques using the tuning slide require 2.

I can think of ways to do all the things everybody is saying can't be done with one arm, for example: you can play the jazz trumpent by taping the end of the slide to a microphone stand, and leaning into and away from the stand to slide in and out.

You can't pwn a n00b h4x0r on CS:S with only 1(337) hand

You can move a pawn on a chessboard with only 1 hand.
