OMG, please don't take any of my far-right ramblings serious!
It's a running joke with me. All power to the immaculate left. I wish stores were flooded with lefty basses and guitars.
Since I'm contrarian by nature, all southpaws have my heartfelt sympathies and admiration. And in the legal world, lefties are actually relatively prevalent, I tend to notice.
When I was a kid I always thought: "
Wouldn't it be much cooler if I was a leftie?" (No worries, I'm really crap doing things leftie.) I'm sure there must be some leftie remnant DNA in me!
My son at least is approaching ambidexterity. It showed in little things like him using his left leg first when stepping forward as a kid (he still does). And while his left hand was never as good as his right hand [he's very nimble, but has issues to this day (= grown man) reading a clock with hands, which likely goes - no pun intended - hand in hand with his ambidexterity I understand], he was never awful with it, just under-rehearsed. We never consciously influenced him either way (but of course he grew up in a rightie world and was therefore subconsciously guided to act rightie from day one). Anyway, he has become a fashion designer in L.A. (I would have had doubts about a watchmaker career unless he would have specialized on those with digital numerical faces, even though he's not really good with number sequences either!
), so it's all good. And, yes, he never wears a watch.
"Left handed guys playing Les Pauls looks especially wrong."I never thought about that, Alan, but you're right, it's an unaccustomed sight. We're creatures of habit.
