That's not any dumber, just more complicated, than turning on a light switch so you can find your way to the fuse/breaker box when the lights are out because the fuse/breaker blew. I do that :)))) @The spate of left right comments :) (you know who you are :))) Ever seen a right-hander use a left-handed corkscrew? :)))))))))))))))))))) Or played tennis against one of us? :)))))))))) Yes... *leave thread midst multiple evil lol's* :))) |

So if we are all mage in God's image, does that mean that God is left handed? |

Handedness . . . I hesitate to chime in. Well, my observations -- non- scientific, of course -- peg left-handed people to be smarter than right- handed ones. In all fairness, although I am ambidextrous, I right with the right one. My father was a lefty, and smart as a whip. As Popeye said, "I am, what. . ." |

I did not say anything nasty about left-handed people. All I said was that I'm not surprised Annie is one. I am a rightie. However, I have found that I can train my left hand to do certain things. The best example is my computer trackball. I was getting carpal tunnel in my right arm from mousing, so I went to a trackball and it helped. Eventually, though, my first two fingers started getting stiff, so I moved the trackball to the left and trained my left hand to use it. Now it's better than the right (although sometimes the corresponding fingers get stiff); the right actually has trouble if it has to use the trackball. I have four of those trackballs: two at work, one on my daily surfing laptop, and one for my two crunchers.

Table manners (self-taught, in part, when I was 3yrs old; parents never objected, believe it, or not): Knife in the left hand, and fork in the right. No swapping needed. Exception: Knife in the right hand, when carving (turkey, etc.), for others. |

Ambies and lefties never get carpal tunnel! |

When eating in, especially, a larger beer hall, in Germany, people would ask me, at times, why I ate with the knife in the left hand, and fork in the right. I would, usually, reply with the question: "Why do you eat with the knife in the right hand, and fork in the left?" Customs/force of habit? Perhaps, they caught on to the individuality's asserting itself, in the USA -- for better, or for worse. Today, a lot of my friends, have started eating the "European" way. Perhaps, it's put-on, perhaps not. For my part, differences can be a good thing -- like different lights on a Christmas tree. |

W/no "edit" button with the last post, I'll add that the fork would, also, be held -- for the most part -- upside down. I never could get used to that one (Try eating peas, that way.). An old ditty: Ah eats mah peas with honey, Ah've done it all mah life. Hit makes the peas taste funny, but keeps 'em on mah knife. |

I'm a right hander. It does take a bit of extra thought and effort to feed myself with my left. As for peas. I like them in pepper gravy for some reason. |
