How many southpaws are there?

Who else among us is left handed. I'd wager to think it's a greater ratio than the overall population.

Not me. I'm entirely normal. But wouldn't this be a great opportunity to use the number-gathering features of the polling utility?

Lefty here (only for writing, though--everything else is righthanded).

Completely ambidexterous. There's not one thing I can do with one hand that I can't do with the other. Well, one thing. Chopsticks. I can't use chopsticks left-handed.
But I'll work on that.

I accidently taught myself whistle left-handed. I can now play the flute right or left handed but for the whistle, I'm still left handed. Everything else is right-handed. Does this count?

I'm about 60-40 or 70-30 right handed. But I can't use chopsticks right-handed, and I can't play racquetball right handed. Being ambi is really useful when needing to use a screwdriver or hammer in a corner, among many other situations.

I'm not left-handed, but I've known people who were.

Finally, I don't feel so weird. I can only use scissors with my left hand, everything else is righthanded.
Every time I turn around, I wonder where I've been.
Time to stop turning round, I guess.

Righty, and voted so (in the poll, not the election!)...but oddly, I do shoot pool left-handed.

I'm left handed, but so far play my flute right handed... maybe I should try it the other way and see what happens :-?

I am left-handed. Yay! We live longer, from what I've heard.
