    Re: International Left Handers Day 2014

    When I was in high school 17 of us went on a trip to Italy and Greece. One evening in Rome we all went out to eat. One of our number noticed that all four at our table were left-handed. None of the others were. The odds of there being four lefties in a group of 17 AND all sitting together completely by chance are astronomical. (I'm sure Ralph or one of his math fiends will be by momentarily to tell us just how astronomical ) It turned out that myself and one other person were actually ambidextrous but ate left-handed.

          Since I screwed up the year last year, I might as well revive this thread.

          Happy International Left-Handers Day to all fellow southpaws!

                      I just learned that three of our last four presidents, including the guy who presides over 57 states, are left handed.

                          Gerald Ford as well. There are reports that Reagan was left-handed, but video shows him writing right. Perhaps he bat or golfed left-handed? I think Truman did...

                            Gerald Ford was left-handed...only while sitting down. Right-handed otherwise (that includes writing: sitting down? Left handed. Writing on a blackboard? Right handed).

                              One of the last forms of discrimination still permissible: those class room desks with the writing surface on the right and butter knives are just two examples. I'm old enough to remember class mates whose parents evidently gave permission for teachers to force their kid to write right. One guy in particular suffered terribly it seemed to my childish mind. Nobody said a word to me, so I'm assuming Dr. & Mrs. Pio were cool with it. In those days ball points hadn't yet taken over the world. And I had a devil of a time with fountain pens: dragging my left hand through the ink left me with a pronounced stain on the hand all the time.

                                I did not know that. And had never heard of it before, either. I'm a mixture: throw left, bat right, tennis & bowling left, golf right, write left.
