[Barman]

I am normal... 

 

And...?

The implication that we are abnormal... 

3 southpaws in one thread... be careful... talk 

Of course you are abnormal... 

[Barman]

You don't see right handed shops do you...? 

My case rests... 

[Nick]

There are right handed shops everywhere. That's why we lefties have such trouble with Bra CLips 

[Darwins Selection]

I am ambidextrous. 

[Nick]

 

[Uncle Mort]

I'm a leftie.

[Nick]

I think we are possibly in the majority 

[Snoopy]

I knew there was someting weird about this forum.

[Nick]

Not weird at all, just dominated by left handers 

[Snoopy]

Like I said ~ weird ~ as in odd, unusual, strange coincidence etc.

[Barman]

Indeed... we should be afraid hound... 

Is Wenchy normal like wot we are...? 

[Nick]

I suspect Wenchy is non-handed. She just bashes things randomly with her fists 

[Uncle Mort]

Women are less likely to be left-handed.

Did you know Barak Obama is left-handed.

[Nick]

Yes, I spotted that early on. Any other lefty presidents? Ah,

Bill Clinton, George H.W. Bush, Ronald Reagan and Gerald Ford were all left-handed indicating that writing with the `wrong hand' can be a key attribute when it comes to making it to the Oval Office.

Since 1974, Jimmy Carter and George W. Bush, the current President, are the only right-handed politicians to have made it to the White House. Historically left-handedness has had negative connotations being associated with evil or clumsyness. For example, the English word sinister derives from the Latin word sinister for left.

Studies suggesting that only 10 per cent of the population are left-handed.

By contrast, right handedness has been associated with skillfulness. The English word dexterity comes from dexter, the Latin word for right-handed.

This November's battle between Republican and Democrat lefties is not unusual either. In 1992, two southpaws went head-to-head when Mr Clinton defeated the first President Bush. In 1996, Mr Clinton beat another left-hander Bob Dole when he secured his second term.

Other leading American left-handers include Al Gore, John Edwards, the Democratic vice-presidential nominee four years ago, and Michael Bloomberg, the Mayor of New York.

"It is possible that left-handed politicians are more strong-willed because they've chosen not to conform to a right-handed world," said Jan van Strien, an expert on biological psychology at Erasmus University, Rotterdam.
