Left or right?

[ora]

Another right hander here!

It seems that being left handed is a requisite for becoming a US President.

From a statistical point of view, it means nothing. I suspect if you live in the year 2957 and look back at the preponderance of left handed of US Presidents over many centuries it will come to the general population average of 13%.

I am right-handed, but I have done some things with my left hand that most righties don't do (behave now! ). I've used a mouse with both hands. As a matter of fact, I actually have two computers and since I don't have a KVM switch, I have the mouse for each on either side of the keyboards. I also had a tendency to cut food with the knife on my left hand, but for some reason it always seemed more efficient for me to do so instead of switching the fork from my left to my right each time. I still can't write with my left hand as well as I do on my right, but I always find myself trying to force my left hand to do things that as a righty I normally would not do (again, behave!),

Heh... if y'all are interested in really blowing your mind and returning yourself to your infantile, uncoordinated days, try brushing your teeth with your other hand tomorrow morning. Try to do it as quickly as you do normally.

Keep a towel on hand to wipe up the blood from jabbing your gums and cheeks and maybe take a lozenge to work to soothe your throat after almost swallowing the head of the toothbrush.

It's a good exercise to keep one's ego in check and remind yourself that you're not the greatest thing since sliced bread.

I already know that. That's why my gums don't bleed.

Yeah, but by then there will be another requirement.....

Left handed--use the mouse in my left hand (seems natural to me). You can program the buttons switched but I never felt the need.
Also the saying goes---left handed/right thinker Ralph

LOL! ACtually, I had to do this some years ago when I broke my pinky knuckle. I've actually tried to wash my hair while brushing my teeth at the same time. Fruitless, don't try it.
