I remember one of the most confusing things I ever dealt with in school was when, in 4th Grade, we got a bunch of “left-handed” scissors (made to use in the left hand). I (right handed) tried to use them but just couldn’t cut it (pun intended), not understanding just how scissors actually worked. It was years before I really understood it. At the time I kind of resented the fact that the left handed kids got their own “special” scissors, while the rest of us had to use the every day ones!
At my last job before retiring, my desk was set up such that I had to do my “mousing” at the computer with my left hand (a situation similar to the school desks). So that became normal and now I have a hard time mousing with my right hand.
Luann, the Valedictorian and the Salutatorian of our H.S. class were both left-handed, just saying. I think it’s was because they were just smarter and worked harder than most of us.

When the world seems to be twisted away from you, you have to strive harder to succeed!

According to medical science, left handed people are the only ones in their right minds.

Not very nice people. I think the authorites might want to keep an eye on Luann.

Apparently Billy the Kid was ambidextrous. But he did most things right handed. The famous picture of him was reversed and caused the confusion.

Weapons tended to be unidexterous.
