Monty by Jim Meddick for October 11, 2011
Transcript:
Robot: Have you by any chance seen my left hand around? Monty: Yeah. Last time I looked, it was on your left arm... Robot: No, seriously... I was taking a nap, and when I woke up, he was gone, but he left a note... Monty: What the... Note: I'm sick and tired of playing second fiddle to the right hand. It's time to end this charade. You've never been ambidextrous and you never will be. Good bye forever, Lefty. Monty: I can't read this word... RObot: "Ambidextrous"... he's always had cruddy handwriting.

I object! Some of us lefties can handle cursive script better than the average cartoon cybot can print!

How gauche. This is sinister behavior. It’s not right that he’s left.
Or maybe the left hand was just cheesed off because E.B. never let him know what the right hand was doing…

He made the mistake of letting his left hand know what the right hand was doing.

It’s times like these I wish I wasn’t so liberal and I could feel good making jokes like “those darn lefties! I wish they always weren’t lying down on the job and striking”.

The left left and left a note?

As a lefty and partially ambidextrous, I highly resemble those remarks. (Is it possible to be only partially ambidextrous, or how does that work?)

Little known fact – Phil Mickelson is actually right handed.

Has anybody read Clive Barker’s short story The Body Politic? It’s the first of his workd I ever read. You know, I think I’d give my right arm to be ambidextrous.

Clive Barker was an insane genius. (OK, I know he’s still alive, but I haven’t cared much for anything he did after the “Books of Blood.”)
Actually, demorodney, I know next to nothing about golf but I knew that. My brother, a rightie, is teaching himself to play golf left-handed to see whether it improves his game, and Mickelson was the germ of that idea.

Of course we might not be such cruddy writers if the art and science of handwriting wasn’t designed exclusively for the right hand!

Most lefties are not totally left-sided. Left-handed people are right brain dominant and are usually artistic. A high percentage of actors are left-handed and I’ll bet a lot of singers, musicians and artists are as well.
I’ve taught myself to use my left hand when a boy in my grade 4 class broke his dominant arm and got a “Poor” on his report card for Writing. I thought it was a really unfair grade.

Lefty felt left out… tired of the hand me downs, was always left holding the bag on those Friday night dates with Thelma Thumb and her four sisters….

Robert Fripp is left-handed but he plays right-handed.

I would have expected the left hand would have unscrewed himself rather than leave unsightly loose wires.
