Ye I was teasing you a bit....I have no bias to the left or right ... Such as left handed at writing but right handed for throwing ..I've always thought that being ambidextrous can leave you being indecisive...or maybe not

I'd probably take 20 years in the clink for a Wimbledon title. Still can't use scissors, though.

Totally unscientific but I've noticed a disproportionate number of addicts and alcoholics are left handed. We do tend to be nicer people though.

Thank goodness we're all a bit more enlightened nowadays. Even when I was at school, the teachers insisted that when writing we had our books straight in front of us which led to all sorts of weird writing styles from left-handers. I just turned my body at an angle and wrote much smaller.
I remember watching a documentary about Kenneth Williams where he recounted a school teacher attaching a belt around his left arm and chest in order to force him to write right-handed. Bloody barbaric.

I'm mixed. I write with my left - though even I can't read it, but most sports I do right-handed. I could kick or catch with either. I do remember when I was a decent tennis player, I could beat most people with my left, even though I played right-handed normally.

Oddly left handers make up a disproportionate number of homicide detetectives.
He also plays football and at a very young age he was mostly left footed, but can use both feet now.
I never know which foot he is going to shoot with when I watch him play.
Dad?
That's me, too.
Table tennis is my biggest issue. I'm pretty good with both hands and find myself switching in the middle of rallies. Confuses the opposition as much as me, though....

I'm a firm southpaw but play guitar, throw darts and play golf and pool right handed. Imagine how much better I could be if I just swapped.

In another unscientific study it seems to me that there is a disproportionately large number of left handers among the foreign community in Japan.
