COOL THINGS ABOUT BEING LEFT HANDED
1) You wipe your butt with a different hand then the one you shake with.
2) You, naturally have a higher degree of Intellect and Critical Thinking Skills. :)
3) Its a good way to strike up a conversation
4) You are a better pitcher
5) In Physics class, you dont hve to stop writing to perform the right hand rule.

3. Kleeb! You're a leftie?!
Very cool!

If we weren't so much better, the righties wouldn't keep trying to slow us down with right-handed scissors...

10. Actually, I'm a switch-hitter

Seriously, my right hand does fine motor control and my right is stronger.

I write, eat and shoot a gun left-handed.

I play baseball, shoot a bow and chainsaw right-handed.

14. Arent most guns harder to use left handed?
especially the safeties and the bolt action's?

I was so happy when the local laser tag place replaced its right handed laser guns with ambedexterous(sp) ones.

2. True.
Only problem is when you write, the ink or pencil graphite smudges and gets all over your hands. I don't know how famous leftie Ben Franklin ever wrote with those wet ink quills.

4. That happens with right handed people too...
because their hand will still go over the lines they wrote above.


Thank goodness for fast drying ink.

6. Also, it's nearly impossible to write on clipboards...
...like at the doctor's office. At least it is for me. I have to turn the paper 180 degrees and write with the "clip" at the bottom.

9. Hummmmm
I write with my left and wipe with my right.

I guess that higher degree of intellect and critical thinking skills must be correct.

left-handed bass, guitar, etc.

15. Your family will never ask you to set the dinner table...
after you constantly keep setting it for a left handed person. (personal experience)
