How many left-handers do you know, and whaddya think about'em?

[MoseyWalker]

I'm a lefty, proud and sometimes loud.

:toast:

[skygazer]

1. I live with a lefty

My dad's a lefty and my older brother. I was formerly married to a lefty. And I love them all.

I envy lefty's actually. Every lefty I know can do more with their right hand than I ever could with my left. Because, of course, the world is set up for right-handed people. But it's a good thing to be somewhat ambidextrous.

[Droopy]

2. It seems like lefties make better baseball players

[MoseyWalker]

3. tell that to all the poor batters

I smacked with the ball in a leg or worse when I was in little league.

They moved me to first base, and I found my niche!

[Droopy]

9. lol!

You must have pitched against my team in little league. I reached base 20 times, but never got a hit.

[sir_captain]

15. Well sure

they have the advantage of mostly hitting against right-handed pitchers. Of course, they can only play the outfield, first base, or pitch, so there are some disadvantages as well.

[Blue-Jay]

4. No idea. That's not something I normally notice.

[MoseyWalker]

5. I wonder if a percentage of squirrels

are left pawed?

Off to do some research!

[MoseyWalker]

7. No real success, but got a laugh out of this

"A rogue squirrel knocked out power across much of the Eastern Seaboard early today in an act of sabotage that the president is calling "a heinous and cowardly act of rodent terrorism." An unidentified squirrel leaped into an electrical transformer at a unidentified substation shortly after 9 a.m., just as the business day began.

The economic impact of the brazen daylight suicide mission is estimated at $74.2 killion as millions of technology-dependent workers were left literally powerless to do their jobs. Employees at one local dot-com were startled to find the company no longer existed when the electricity came back on. And several firms provided counseling to help workers deal with the emotional trauma of not being able to get onto their computers.

President Bush joked that the squirrel terrorists probably have stockpiled acorns of mass destruction for the upcoming nuclear winter and vowed to "smoke 'em out of their trees."

8. HA!

:rofl:

[Oeditpus Rex]

6. My sister's a lefty

She's okay, I guess. Too normal for me, though. :scared:

Then there's my boyhood idol. And boyhood idols are idols forever.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

10. My dear MoseyWalker!

How many do I know? Well......my late MIL was, my oldest daughter was briefly, and I was as well, till kindergarten......

I think it's way cool! I love to watch left-handers write that way....

It looks amazing.......

I know, I'm crazy! :crazy: :silly:


:hi:

[MoseyWalker]

11. Hey CP, blame it on the lefties!

they made you crazy!

:hi:

[Fuzz]

12. I hate 'em because they get to use the handicap parking spaces!

hehe

:evilgrin:

[Rabrrrrrr]

13. They're all shifty beady-eyed bootlicking white liver apple-polishing

sneak thieves, pilferers, and second story men with a penchant for buggery, purloining, swindling, and ungodly peccability, all manifestations of luxuriating in the sin of Adam, and all other activities of the rogue, scalawag, and general reprobate.

[MoseyWalker]

16. So

you've been talking to my supervisor about me, haven't you!

O8)

[sendero]

37. I didn't know..

.. you were a lefty!

[Rabrrrrrr]

51. I'm a middler.

[sendero]

52. Middler?

Well, I write and eat left handed, but do everything else right handed. Figures :)

[Nikia]

14. There are left handed people in my family

My paternal grandmother is left handed as are a couple of my father's siblings. My mother is left handed. My husband is amidextrous, but naturually a lefty (broke his left arm in grade school so developed dexterity with his right). Strangely my half sister isn't left handed even though my mother is as was my mother's second husband (my half sister's father).
I don't know if I can make any generalizations about the left handers that I know.

[Awsi Dooger]

17. I know dozens of lefties

And I'm one myself. There must be something that influences lefties to get involved in sports analysis and betting because there is a surreal percentage of lefties involved in that here in Las Vegas. A few years ago at the Stardust on Sunday night many of us were getting ready for the lottery of the opening lines, and noticed that 5 of the 6 of us in one line of the lottery were lefthanded. When someone pointed that out, a guy standing nearby said, "So what. The whole town is lefthanded." He meant the whole town in regard to the sports betting regulars.

[MoseyWalker]

21. I'll bet

you didn't know that before you moved to Vegas!

:)

[datasuspect]

18. demonic spawn

the lot of them

[Random_Australian]

19. Left handed people? They have an agenda to overthrow America!

You see, the Founding Fathers were right handed, and now the immoral brainwashed Left handed people want to instigate their own warped and unnatural Left handed people behaviour - (which is highly immoral).

Also, recently some have tried to say that bieng a Left handed people is genetic - however I once saw an ambidextrous person so it is a CHOICE to lead their immoral, Left handed people lives.

Finally, people only become a Left handed people for their own sexual gratification, so they are inheritly evil.


____________________________

Pretty good FReep impression, huh?

In all honesty, I can't understand a difference between left and right handed people, but that does not make for much of an answer so I thought I would spice it up a bit with the above passage. :)

[Roon]

20. I do everything with my left hand

but write. I write with my right hand.

[Gormy Cuss]

22. Lots, and they're all sinister.

:evilgrin:

[Xipe Totec]

55. And gauche too!

:evilgrin:

[pscot]

23. The master race

Leftys are the salt of the earth, nature's noblemen. They are usually brave, strong, generous and good looking. They always remember their wives' birthdays. They are kind, loving and sexually adventurous. They are natural leaders. Moses was left-handed. So was George Washington. It's a little known fact that Hitler was born left-handed, but his father made him switch when he was just a little kid, with tragic results for 20th century man. There's a lesson there for all parents. If you know a Lefty of the opposite sex (or the same sex,if that turns you on) go up to them and give them a big smooch, just to let them know how much you appreciate them. You'll be glad you did.

[MoseyWalker]

24. Thou speaketh the trutheth

:thumbsup:

[pscot]

26. Another characteristic

of Left-handers.

[chaska]

28. Great Post! This lefty thanks you.

[pscot]

31. Happy to be of service

in such a noble cause.

[Joe Fields]

25. I'm a southpaw, and so is my brother.

[MoseyWalker]

27. I tend to walk around slowly in mental circles

do you and bro?

[Joe Fields]

42. yes. counter clockwise....

[Deja Q]

29. I am ambidextrous. And I can assure you, nobody likes me!

:spray:

Right-handed folks say I shouldn't be using the left hand as it's immoral...

Lefties tell me it's a vain, empty fantasy for me to want to be right-handed...

This could also double as a bizarre double-entendre to bisexuality. I hope my attempt gets a grade of C+ or better. :evilgrin:

[graywarrior]

30. I'm ambi, also. Think that's why I have few friends?

Or is it that I am sometimes an a-hole.

Mr. Gray is a lefty. He's crazy.

[Deja Q]

35. I'm more or less the a-hole, but with good reason...

I'm bi and nobody really likes me when the tough questions are asked, or the bluff called into play.

I tend to get cynical in my old age. Lonely and cynical. I ought to be living in a senior citizen home, drawing off a pension, and using coupons for cheap inexpensive fruit.

[graywarrior]

36. Sounds like we'd get along great, after a few fisticuffs.

[LaurenG]

32. Of all the men I've ever dated

someone in their family was left handed and my husband is left handed. I think they are great. I've also noticed that they were all either writers or artists. :thumbsup:

[auntAgonist]

33. my dear Mother was left handed

and at times switched to right handed. I think it had something to do with the way left handed folks were treated in school. She was forced to use her right hand a lot.

what do I think of her? I love/loved her, she's my Mum, gone but not forgotten.


:hi:

aA

[Dulcinea]

34. My household is 50% left-handed.

My DH & my younger daughter. Well, she's almost 3, so she may be faking us out...but she scribbles & eats with her left hand.

[MoseyWalker]

38. So everybody is always only half right?

i like that!

[dolo amber]

39. My sister's a lefty

We had to sit next to each other every night at dinner. I got really good at elbow-swordfighting pretty quickly. x(

[RebelOne]

40. I am a left-hander and we lefties supposedly

have higher intelligence than all you righties.

[NJ Democrats]

41. I love them and I am one!

I know 4 of the top of my head

[Taverner]

43. My Son

And he rawks!

[Lydia Leftcoast]

44. I'm a lefty for writing and eating, but I do most other things,

including cutting with scissors, knitting, and playing the violin (I haven't done the last two for years) right-handed.

[derby378]

45. That's kinda like me, too

I bowl and use the mouse with my right hand. Writing is strictly for the left hand, though. Tried writing with my right hand, but it's still pretty dicey.

[smtpgirl]

46. I'm left-handed, so is my niece, mom and my grandfather

[Jamastiene]

47. I'm a lefty.

My grandmother is a lefty. I can't think of any others I know right off the top of my head, but Joan Jett, one of my most favorite singers is a lefty too.

[ikojo]

48. Two of my friends are left handed and married to one

another. My brother is a lefty as is my nephew Eric.

So that makes four.

What do I think of 'em, they're good people.

[lizziegrace]

49. Two of my four nephews are lefties

One's a terrific pitcher and switch-hitter. The other's a presidential scholar at the university he attends.

:)

[hyphenate]

50. Being a lefty myself

I think the world of them. :)

Actually, my brother and wife are both lefties, with two lefty boys. My dad would have been a natural lefty, but he had to go through that shit of the nuns hitting him on the hand every time he went to use it. (Barbaric days of the early 20th century!)

Lefties seem to have a firmer grip on a lot of things, IMO. For instance, we have to work in a right-handed world, so we have to use our right hand frequently, which results in us being ambidextrous. I bowl right handed, for example, and can use flatware with both hands. I can also write with both hands.

Also, as a result, we learn to be both left and right brained, using both our creative sides and our logical sides.

I love right handed people, of course, but we lefties are just more capable. ;)

[Left Is Write]

53. Me, my mother, my sister-in-law, and a few friends.

I am the only one of my mother's five children who is left-handed. All three of my kids are right-handed, but my sister has two kids - both lefties! How'd she get the lefties and I didn't?

[YankeyMCC]

54. My Dad was left-handed

but the nuns forced him to learn to use his right.

So obviously left-handedness is a sin! :eyes:

But I guess it's a sin that got repealled I'm told that doesn't happen anymore in catholic schools.

[1gobluedem]

56. My sister and my boss and both leftys

And two of the best people on the face of the earth. So, I like leftys.

My sister is also a very talented artist and has exquisite penmanship which is not common to leftys.

[Benfea]

57. They are scum and we need to build concentration camps for 'em

Just kidding. ;)

Although I do like to tease certain lefties about their persecution complex.
