*looks at the watch mark left on his right wrist*

Don't judge me! :O:

Yeah, I'm wierd, I'm right handed but I wear my watch on my right hand. :doh:

Do you wear it with the face under your wrist? I wear mine that way and find it easier to deal with, although I have gotten a few comments over the years about how I am wearing my watch the "wrong way"...

Can't admit I do, but I can understand the reasoning behind it, although I'd be terrified of smashing the face on a work surface or something.

We also need a day to remember people with one leg only. I imagine that all the majority of people with two legs for one day will hopp around on just one leg, becasue according to the website's text, which I slightly adapted to the one-leg-celebration day: >>"the idea of One-Leg-Day is of everyone to celebrate in fun, practical ways, making two-legged family members / friends / colleagues realise how 'athletic' and physically well-coordinated we have to be because we are constantly adapting a two-legged world to work for a one-legger," states the website."Getting two-legged people to move one-legged for the day is a great way to make the point!"<<

:88)

Doctors also will welcome the immense additional income they can earn that day.

Is that one of those left-handed compliments?... :D

If that's the hand you use, well, never mind...









Apologies to Paul Simon

I'm a lefty, but I do not wear my watch on either of my wrists. No thank you, I don't want to be shackled by time. I carry it on a belt-loop of my pants (on the right). I guess that makes me a hipster too?

The worst drawback of this 'orientation' was dragging your hand through the wet ink from a fountain pen all the time when I was a kid in school. The thinking was that using a fountain pen improves one's handwriting skills. Yeah, left! It's never been any good. I hate those pens.

It used to be some schools would try to "cure" a kid of left-handedness by forcing them to use only their right hand. IIRC, Paul McCartney was so abused in school...

I know, I guess I'm young enough to never have needed to experience that teaching method. Thankfully.
