New York, NY (AHN) - A new study says left-handed men make more money than right-handed employees.
Left-handed men with some college education earned 15 percent more than right-handers with the same level of education.

Those who completed their degrees made about 26 percent more than their right-handed counterparts.

Johns Hopkins University researchers say in the study there are "several suggestive and economically and statistically significant results that suggest further support for the notion that handedness matters... We do not have a theory that reconciles all of these findings."

The study did not find similar results among women.

3. My hubby is a lefty

he does do very well. Interesting study. Too bad our kid is a righty.

5. oh, that's easy......

That's b/c a left handed man can stand on the right-hand side of a man who's right-handed and with FULL DEXTERITY reach into that man's right pocket and lift out his wallet! :hide:

6. That won't wash...I'm right-handed, and I keep my wallet

in my left pocket. I think most men do, don't they? If you keep it in the right pocket of your jacket, then you have to fish it out with your left hand, which is awkward. Right?

[Mind_your_head]

7. Well, it depends on which pocket you refer to

Front pockets of trousers (which I was referring to, but which I know MOST men NEVER do)....hence I was joking

Rear (dierriere - sp?) trouser pockets OR

Front/inside suit jacket pockets (which I believe you are referring to) OR

Front/outside casual jacket pockets.

What was the question again???? :-) LOL

8. My bosses never got the memo

:shrug:

Lefties rule!

[Dont_Bogart_the_Pretzel]

12. Neither did mine!

[DireStrike]

9. Lefties are more likely to survive in melee combat

Because righties do not have as much experience fighting them, as lefties do fighting righties.

[Boojatta]

10. Well, if you were part of a Sinister secret organization that was

planning to oust right-handed people from the corridors of power, then wouldn't you work extra hard to earn money to contribute to the Sinister organization?

11. They have to be on their toes

Staking out a place at the end of a dinner or lunch table, so they don't bump elbows with the person next to them. This develops a set of skills involving thinking ahead and planning. I don't know why women are left out of this, though. That is the puzzler.

13. Yes, well left-handed men die earlier too.

Or so says some old report I read about two years ago.

[Thor_MN]

14. I think that one has been disproved

It was based on distributions of handedness among age ranges. It found that there were "missing" lefties at older ages and concluded that lefties must die earlier. It failed to account for schools forcibly changing lefties to righties early in the 20th century.
