OT Lefthanders day

Well, susan dear, it is one of those things that is relevant information to your life,... regardless of how often you shoot, sit, or shave....

Hold your hands together, arms outstretched, with an opening between your thumbs and pointer fingers, you should stare at an obhect through said opening, for example, a picture on the wall. Close one eye, and then the other, eye dominance will be immediately apparent. Report back to me, as I am curious yellow.

Ps- who is going to be Gov. of Utah now?

I object to this day, as the victim of grade school, being stuck using the green handled lefty scissors. In a class of twenty five, with twenty five pairs of scissors(and two of those pairs being lefty) and only ONE left handed student! Which meant a righty had to use a lefty pair, and those things were just plain annoying!
It was political correctness gone horribly wrong!

In more serious note . . . my dad was a lefty that the school forced righty. He was a child of the fourty's/fifties and that's what they did back then. His handwriting is awful . . . I can't figure out why they did stuff like that.
Thank goodness they don't do that now! Lefties, you've come a long way!

Okay, it's not immediately apparent. Describe eye dominance.

Pro-green?

The Lt. Gov., Oleen Walker, will take over (Utah's first woman governor).

Is there a Doctor in the house? Susan needs help with her transverse rectabular extrusion bracket.

Sorry babe, when in doubt, shake it out.

I was never very proficient with my left hand. My right hand either. But especially I had less dexterity with my left hand. There was an article, a while back, in Christianity Today about Ned Flanders. If I am not mistaken, he runs a Leftorium.

Yum, doughnuts.

Leftinightus is a cerebral crossfunctioning of the hemispheres. I for example, still don't know my left from my right. I also tend to list a little bit when I walk.

I think right-handed people should be made to try and buy a left handed guitar today to see how difficult it is.

All those left handed Serial killers where probably sick of folk stating the obvious in a state of amazement, vis "YOU'RE LEFT HANDED!!!!"

Being a fellow 'Lefty', my response at one time was to suddenly drop the pen that I was writing with,or whatever,grab hold of my wrist in SHOCK HORROR

and commence to grapple with my left hand as if it were 'the Beast with five fingers' with a life of it's own!!
Who says left handers are 'wierd' eh?

As for the Guitar - JIMI HENDRIX Need I say more?

Hmm, when I try this, through one eye the picture remains "centered" but when I look through the other eye, the picture sort of jumps to one side.

So, what does this mean?

All the Best, Tom

Hmmm...I've been known to talk to myself when I walk, but I usually don't just list things. What kind of things do you list?

Gee, I always thought the opposite of right-handed must be wrong-handed! My brother, for instance, is wrong-handed. (Then again, he's my brother, so I was obligated growing up to usually believe him to be wrong-headed too!)

The eye that the object remains centered in is your dominant eye. The eye that shoots the object to one side or the other is your non-dominant eye. You have to pick an object fairly far away, say 20-30 feet for it to become really apparent.

I have always been a rightie and my handwriting is pretty bad. Does that mean I am a closet leftie?

Oh my!

yeah, actually if left handed guitars had been readily available then Hendrix might have sounded a whole lot different.

Ever tried calligraphy?

Righty scisors can work OK if you use them upside down.

Gotta go hide some bodies now.
