My wife is a southpaw and she’s been killed by using right-handed crescent wrenches more times than I can count. The reanimation costs are eating me alive.
This is always how it starts. You cut off too much on the left, so you cut off more on the right. But then you accidentally cut off too much on the right in the process, and now you have to cut off more on the left. Pretty soon, you are sporting a mohawk.
Left-hand monkey wrenches were a joke item that new, young apprentices were asked to get from the department tool crib — that, and ‘sky hooks.’ It was a long tradition to teach young people to take a joke well. And, not to try to lift stainless steel with a hoist magnet. (You have to have been there…)
My dad, born 1921, was left handed. He was forced to learn to write right handed. I always wondered if his terrible sense of direction resulted from that.
Ursula Kroeber Le Guin was an American author. She is best known for her works of speculative fiction, including science fiction works set in her Hainish universe, and the Earthsea fantasy series.
The Left Hand of Darkness is a science fiction novel by Le Guin, published in 1969. The novel is set in the fictional Hainish universe as part of the Hainish Cycle, a series of novels and short stories.
The novel follows the story of Genly Ai, a human native of Terra, who is sent to the planet of Gethen as an envoy of the Ekumen, a loose confederation of planets. Ai’s mission is to persuade the nations of Gethen to join the Ekumen, but he is stymied by a lack of understanding of their culture. Individuals on Gethen are ambisexual, with no fixed sex; this has a strong influence on the culture of the planet, and creates a barrier of understanding for Ai.
The Left Hand of Darkness is an anti-political novel. It basically says that there’s no truly decent political system. The best we can do is make do.

Don’t forget about the ambidextrous people. They want more ways to die, too.

Panel One: Name one left-handed person who died yesterday using a righty product.
Panel Two: Name one right-handed person who didn’t die yesterday using a lefty product.
Panel Three: (um, er, I forgot where I was going with this)

…my older brother believes he was born left handed…but that my grandmother changed him from it…
…as the urban legend goes…
…she refused to let him use his left hand at the dinner table…
…even going to the extent of tying his left hand to his chair…
…she would not let him color with it…
…he believes it to this day…
…my other not as older brother simply believes that my oldest brother used both hands somewhat equally…
…that you can’t change being left handed…
…he uses our younger left handed brother as the prime example…
…he was left handed…
…and eventhough grandmother made him wear a dress…
…put hot sauce on this left fingers…
..my younger brother remained a lefty…
..aah, the good old days….
