Except that the picture does not show what we're doing with our right hands.... Muahahahahahaha! :up:

Mayhap it would be impolite to ask what the other hands are doing whilst you're engaged in your secret 'nod's as good as a wink' lefty handshake?
:oops: :D

Hey, my heroes are all the people who made me want to play. It stands to reason that some of them would be deformed. :D

It indeed mayhap. :O:

I see this thread has taken a left turn, and I'm feeling left out. Am I right?

Well, don't feel bad... Rights are far superior to Lefties...

We all know that 3 lefts make a right... so rights are 3x better than lefts.

We all know that each side of the body is controlled by the opposite side of the brain so left handers are the only people in their right minds.

QFT

:rotfl2:

Ouch, touche and brilliant! :rock:

Which suggests that Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan, George HW Bush, William Clinton and now Barack Obama were/are all in their right minds. (Five of the last eight presidents were wrong:O:-handed.)

That's gonna muck with some people's political theories.

Hardly.:O: Left-handers are generally abstract thinkers, which is something that serves them well in the creative areas of society they often end up in. Politics are an art, and lefties tend do well for themselves in such areas, relatively speaking.

My mother, who is left handed, used to tell us that when she was in grade school (1930s-1940s) she was punished for writing with her left hand and the teacher tried to force her to "learn to write the correct way". :nope:

As a consequence my mother writes "under" the line as opposed to "over" the line. The picture, in this thread of Obama writing is an example of the more common writing over the line. I wish I could find a picture of the other way.

For reference, a right handed person writes under the line: Their hand is under the line they are currently writing.

Anyway, does any other lefty write under the line? Or is that just a thing of the past?

Wouldn't know how to do that... at least not in a way that is fast, but that's most probably because I didn't learn it that way. Also my writing leans to the left when I try to do that

:haha:

For some reason this just kind of made my day.

Edit: Now that I've read the whole thread and see that it caused scars I might take that back..

I just remember playing some mindless FPS with a friend and seeing how some of the characters shot lefty and got sprayed by shell casings and the two of us wondered to the other.. oww that's got to be annoying at least.

I am a lefty
When in school (50's and 60's) I had nuns for teachers through the first 8 grades. They made me write with my right hand for 3 years. In Grade 4 I won my freedom to use my natural left.

Even after they let me use my left, they required me to slant the paper so the writing ended up looking like it was written by a right hander.


In the movie Saving Private Ryan I found it interesting that Spielberg cast a left handed shooter as the sniper. (was that Barry Pepper?) I can still see him up in that tower trying to shoot that bolt action rifle quickly but using his left hand to reach over the top of the rifle to work the bolt to chamber rounds. It looked incredibly odd. (I shoot right handed)
How many of you noticed this? :cool:

There's the scene. :ping:

Interesting.... must be why he missed so much......

His accuracy, and anybody's accuracy in a movie is dependent upon how accurate the director wants him to be.

He really was not shooting at anyone. They could have him never hit or never miss...up to the editing room.

I was just speculating whether Spielberg deliberately cast a lefty for that role or if it just ended up that way by chance.

BTW...Pepper does a very good job of handling the rifle in that scene imo.

Oh yes, I agree on all points....

Just poking fun at you lefties.....

:up: Roger that!
