International Left Handers Day 2014

Re: International Left Handers Day 2014

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.

I play sports right-handed, but pretty much left-handed in everything else.

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).

Lefties of the world, unite!

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 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...

So we're celebrating the 2015 National Left Handers Day?

At least left handers are in their right minds.

To all of my fellow natural southpaws out there, whether it's writing, throwing, using a hockey stick, putting, shooting billiards, using a mouse, sending morse code, some combination of these or any other things, I want to wish you and ours a Happy International Left-Handers Day!

I dressed as a mascot named Southpaw, does that count?

Re: International Left Handers Day 2014

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

Happy International Left-Handers Day to all fellow southpaws!
