LOL Mac.
You know it just dawned on me why we can't. By the way the arm is attached to our upper body, the bone between our shoulder and elbow is longer than is the capability of our spine to stretch forward. Even if you could flip your arm all the way around it wouldn't work. Not that I've been trying or anything.
